L'histoire commence en 1787. La frégate HMS Bounty, commandée par William Bligh, est affrétée par l'Amirauté Anglaise pour rallier Tahiti afin d'y récolter des plants d'arbre à pain. L'Amirauté prévoit d'acclimater cette plante dans les colonies anglaises des Indes Occidentales pour nourrir les esclaves. Le voyage est rendu difficile par le caractère exigeant du capitaine Bligh. Il punit sévèrement l'équipage et fait donner le fouet avec beaucoup trop de générosité au goût de ses hommes. L'escale tahitienne est donc bienvenue, et les six mois passés sur l'île à récolter les plants d'arbre à pain, seront pour ces hommes sévèrement tenus un avant-goût de paradis.
