This Hartwick Classic Film Leadership Case Study® depicts the mutiny against Captain William Bligh during a worldwide British naval expedition in 1789. The film, which is based on Richard Hough's book Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian, stars Mel Gibson as Fletcher Christian, the leader of the mutiny, and Anthony Hopkins as Bligh. Captain Bligh is given the mission of bringing breadfruit plants from Tahati to Jamaica with his old friend Fletcher Christian. As the crew members wait for the first breadfruit plants to mature, they become enmeshed in the culture of the native inhabitants. When it comes time to bring the breadfurit plants to Jamaica, Captain Bligh faces the problem of restoring group unity and cohesion. Captain Bligh's attempts to create group unity through authoritarian and coercive means causes Fletcher Christian to lead the crew in a mutiny in which Bligh and the officers are set adrift.
