Full Plot Details

James Burke, after distinguishing himself as a midshipman in the British merchant marine, rapidly rises to the rank of executive officer, second in command of a ship. A broken foot necessitates that he be put ashore to heal. After his recovery, the very proud Jim - his pride rooted in his competence, which had made him a highly respected and admired naval officer - signs on as the executive officer of the Patna, a rusty tub manned by a third-rate crew overseen by a barbarous captain, that is transporting a group of Moslem pilgrims to Mecca. During a severe storm that causes the unseaworthy ship to founder, Jim abandons ship with the rest of the white crew without even lowering the other lifeboat for the passengers. The fleeing crew are prepared to swear they saw the Patna sink with all its passengers; however, in what Jim believes is a cosmic joke upon himself, it is revealed when they get into port on their lifeboat that the Patma did not sink but had been salvaged by a French vessel. In the ensuing inquiry that he himself sought to do penance for his sins (the ultimate sin for a naval officer being to abandon ship particularly when passengers or crew are still on-board), Jim is admonished after confessing his cowardice, chastised for bringing shame upon those to whom he belongs, the British merchant marine. His chief judge asks him why he did not "bury himself 20 feet deep" rather than seek the inquiry and humiliate himself and all professional British sailors. Jim does succeed in "burying himself 20 feet deep" by becoming a drifter and common laborer in various southeast Asian ports, though he never can completely escape into anonymity. The burden of his sin follows him everywhere. Racked by guilt over abandoning his ship, the proud Jim seeks atonement, a second chance, which comes in the guise of running arms and gunpowder to a tribe of indigenous peoples oppressed by a ruthless and brutal warlord. The warlord knows that the difference between a hero and a coward is not as thick as a piece of paper. What will this mean for Jim, now committed to a heroic path for a people whom he does not even know? The man the natives soon call "Lord Jim" is about to face his destiny, which is relentless and inescapable.

Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeA great O'Toole performance can't quite save this ponderous film.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAt best, it only resembles Conrad's 1900 novel.
Variety - 4/10 by Variety StaffBrooks, while capturing the spirit of adventure of the novel, only superficially catches the inner emotional and spiritual conflict of its hero.
User Review - 10/10 by gary twell umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch...its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie.....i think that peter o toole, james mason, curt jurgens, daliah lavi, eli wallach, jack macgowran play good roles/parts throughout this movie.....i think that the director of this drama/classics movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie...this is a really powerful drama movie 2 watch with a good cast throughout this movie but its a bit 2 long but its still a good movie 2 watch
User Review - 10/10 by Sheila CTrès belle histoire,exemplaire, d'un homme qui commet une grave erreur et qui en assume les conséquences. Par la suite, la vie lui donne une deuxième chance: il arrive a aider des malheureux a se libérer de l'esclavage.
User Review - 10/10 by Bryan-Matthew MOnly O'Toole could have truly brought my favorite tale to the big screen. Pain of this magnitude could not be better displayed than through those blue eyes.
User Review - 10/10 by Anna NJoseph Conrad's story about betrayal, duty, and trust are woven into a world of beauty and grit. O'Toole is one of the very best actors, and this story will move you and make you think for a long time to come -- isn't this what movies are supposed to do?
User Review - 8/10 by Paul CAn excellent adaptation of a great Joseph Conrad novel. Sound performances all round (i'd expect little else from Peter O'Toole or James Mason though) and some great on-location shots. It is a little long but the story is so timeless you barely notice.
User Review - 8/10 by Rachel AI love this movie. very well acted, good story.
User Review - 8/10 by Sara RA good adaptation of the Joseph Conrad classic. O'Toole is gorgeous, as usual, and carries off the part of Jim, a man haunted by a moment of cowardice, desperate to prove himself. James Mason is underused as the cynical villain to O'Toole's idealistic hero. It's a Conrad novel, so it must end badly, but the ending is truly sad and touching.
