Cutthroat pirate William Kidd captures Admiral Blayne's treasure ship and hides the bounty in a cave. Three years later, Kidd, posing as a respectable merchant captain, offers his services to the King of England. Seeking a social position, Kidd also negotiates for Blayne's title and lands, provided he can prove Blayne was associated with piracy.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A swashbuckling romp where a cunning pirate masquerades his way into respectability while his past literally steps aboard his ship. It's the kind of adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously but delivers on spectacle and moral trickery at sea.
