1805. Napoleon dominira Europom. Samo mu se Engleska odupire. To su doba napoleonskih ratova, a sada su mora i oceani postali ključno i strateško bojište. U Atlantskom oceanu engleski ratni brod Surprise, kojeg je kapetan "Luckyja" Jack Aubrey (Crowe) iznenada napadne neprijateljski ratni brod koji je nadređen njemu. Aubrey tada donosi pamtljivu odluku: usprkos ozbiljnoj šteti koju su pretrpjeli Surprise i njezina vjerna posada, uključujući kirurga Stephena Maturina (Bettany), odluči otploviti, ozbiljno rizikujući, preko dva mora kako bi presreli i uhvatili svog neprijatelja. To je misija koja može odrediti sudbinu jednog naroda ili uništiti kapetana i njegovu posadu, suočenu s mnogo bolje naoružanim i bezobzirnim privatnikom, u potjeri preko mora koja ga vodi na drugu stranu svijeta.
