1962’s brilliant historical drama Mutiny on the Bounty had an outstanding cast that included the likes of Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard and Richard Harris. It depicts the events of the real-life 1789 mutiny aboard HM Armed Vessel Bounty, which was led by Acting Lieutenant Fletcher Christian against the ship’s captain, Vice Admiral of the Blue William Bligh.

The movie was a critical hit, was nominated for seven Academy Awards (although it didn’t manage to win a single one) and is a genuine cinematic classic, but it was a major flop at the box office. After costing a whopping $19 million to make, it only brought in $13.68 million.
