In 1699, pirate William Kidd tricks the king into commissioning him to escort a treasure ship. He recruits a crew of pardoned pirates, including the mysterious Adam Mercy. As treachery unfolds, secrets are revealed, leading to a confrontation between Kidd and those he betrayed.

1945 United States adventure film set against the backdrop of piracy and historical events. Directed by Rowland V. Lee and featuring a cast led by Charles Laughton, the film delves into the treacherous world of Captain Kidd and his exploits.

Captain Kidd, a clever and ruthless pirate, manages to deceive the king in 1699, obtaining a royal commission to escort a treasure ship from India. Assembling a crew from condemned pirates, he embarks on his mission. Among his crew is Adam Mercy, who hides a personal vendetta. As the voyage progresses, Kidd's treacherous intentions become evident. He plots against his crew and the passengers, including Lady Anne Dunstan. However, Adam Mercy's true identity and purpose come to light, leading to a showdown between him and Kidd. The film intertwines adventure, betrayal, and revenge against a historical backdrop.

The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score by Werner Janssen. The film was one of Joseph Stalin’s favorite films, according to Nikita Khrushchev’s memoirs. Stalin reportedly identified with Kidd’s mischievous nature. Charles Laughton reprised his role as Captain Kidd in Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (1952), a comedy spoof of the original film. The film is loosely based on the real-life pirate William Kidd, who was executed in 1701 for piracy and murder. However, the film takes many liberties with historical facts and portrays Kidd as a more villainous character than he may have been. The film was directed by Rowland V. Lee, who also directed Son of Frankenstein (1939) and The Tower of London (1939), both starring Boris Karloff.
