Horatio Hornblower
Huddled against the biting wind of a January gale, a thin young man sits miserable in the stern of a small boat battling its way across the churning waters of Spithead Bay. It is 1793, and Horatio Hornblower is reporting to duty aboard the battleship Justinian. The epic saga of "Horatio Hornblower," the legendary sea-faring hero, comes to life in these films based on C.D. Forester's classic novels. Set against the bloody backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Hornblower charts a course for high adventure, following the raw recruit as he battles the French, evades capture, and rises through the ranks of the King's Navy. With a powerful performance by Ioan Gruffudd ("Titanic") in the title role, "Horatio Hornblower" brings C.S. Forester's classic tales to life in all their swashbuckling glory.
