Hornblower: Duty (2003)
The Hornblower series is based on C.S. Forester’s classic maritime adventures – the story of one young man’s struggle to become a leader of men. Set against the back drop of the 18th century Anglo-French wars, the bloodiest time in British naval history. Admiral Pellew interrupts Hornblower’s wedding reception and tasks him to locate a British ship which has disappeared off the French coast, where Napoleon’s troops are engaged in covert activities.
