Synopsis

After an abrupt and violent encounter with a French warship inflicts severe damage upon his ship, a captain of the British Royal Navy begins a chase over two oceans to capture or destroy the enemy, though he must weigh his commitment to duty and ferocious pursuit of glory against the safety of his devoted crew, including the ship's thoughtful surgeon, his best friend.

Memorable quotes from Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

"Do you not know that in the service … one must always choose the lesser of two weevils?"
"Men must be governed. Often not wisely, I will grant you, but they must be governed nonetheless."
"Name a shrub after me – something prickly and hard to eradicate."
"This is the second time he's done this to me. There will not be a third."
"What is it with this man, did I kill a relative of his in battle perhaps? His boy, God forbid?"
"For England, for home, and for the prize!"
"We do not have time for your damned hobbies, sir!"
"You know, I'm very sympathetic of mutineers – men pressed from their homes, their chosen occupations …"
