Set during the Napoleonic Wars, Captain and Lieutenant (2025) follows the perilous voyage of the HMS Valiant, led by Captain Edmund Hartley (Russell Crowe), a principled yet hardened British naval commander. His cunning and unpredictable first officer, Lieutenant Silas Drake (Johnny Depp), harbors a secret allegiance to a revolutionary cause. Angelina Jolie plays Maeve Sinclair, a fiercely loyal crew member with a shadowy past and deep bond with Hartley.

When the Valiant is tasked with intercepting a French warship smuggling stolen British plans, Drake sabotages the mission from within, manipulating the crew and framing Maeve for treason. As suspicions mount, Maeve uncovers Drake’s plot and reveals his ties to enemy agents. In a gripping sea battle, Captain Hartley confronts Drake in a brutal sword fight, ultimately forced to kill him. Maeve is vindicated, and with the enemy thwarted, Hartley offers her a command of her own. Peace looms—but betrayal lingers on the horizon.
