Ponte di comando (1962)
La vicenda, ispirata a un fatto storico, si svolge nel 1797, ai tempi delle guerre napoleoniche. I marinai della nave da guerra inglese H.M.S. Defiant organizzano un ammutinamento, stanchi delle vessazioni subite da parte di alcuni ufficiali. Conquistato il controllo della nave, vengono però in contatto con la flotta francese e a quel punto il senso di patriottismo prende il sopravvento e, con un atto eroico, i ribelli ingaggiano il combattimento, riuscendo a sconfiggere i nemici.
