As commander of the British warship H.M.S. Defiant, the humane Crawford (Alec Guinness) strives to maintain order throughout the ship against the ceaseless brutality of sadistic first mate Scott-Padget (Dirk Bogarde). After Crawford is injured in a fiery battle with a French treasure ship, angry seaman Vizard (Anthony Quayle) leads the crew to mutiny when Scott-Padget takes over but when a vengeful sailor murders Scott-Padget, the Defiant crew must decide between saving their country or their own lives.
