Plots(1)
Following the death of his father, a feared shipping tycoon, adventurer James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy) returns to London in 1814 after a decade spent travelling in Africa to claim the rights to the mysterious island of Nootka Sound which has been left as part of his father's will. Surprising everyone, including his half-sister Zilpha (Oona Chaplin) who feared he was dead, Delaney finds himself coming up against the head of the mighty East India Company Sir Stuart Strange (Jonathan Pryce) who is desperate to secure the much sought-after island for his own gain. Negotiating the dark and dangerous games of London's rich and powerful, Delaney is forced to go to extreme lengths in his attempts to claim what is his. (StudioCanal UK)
