Read moreReturn to the high seas with two more scintillating adventures starring Ioan Gruffudd as C. S. Forester's dashing naval hero. Crafted and helmed by the Emmy -winning team behind the acclaimed, original series, including producer Andrew Benson and director Andrew Grieve, HORATIO HORNBLOWER: THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES features two full-length movies based on the book Lieutenant Hornblower. As The Mutiny opens, Hornblower is languishing in a prison cell in Kingston, Jamaica, jailed for his role in removing the deranged Capt. Sawyer from his command aboard the HMS Renown. Visited by Capt. Pellew, his former commander and mentor, Hornblower revisits the harrowing events that have brought him to face court martial and the very real possibility of a death sentence. The saga continues in Retribution, as Hornblower reveals to the court the details of an assault on a Spanish fort that succeeded in large part because of his gallantry. Despite these heroics, Hornblower's fate remains in question--until a surprise witness removes the shadow of doubt cast across the young sailor by Captain Sawyer and his cronies. Exploding to life with the unmatched realism afforded by DVD technology, this is a must-have for fans of Forester, adventure, and anyone who loves a ripping yarn.
