Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
is a 2003 adventure film
directed by Peter Weir
. He and screenwriter John Collee
based the film on several novels in the Aubrey–Maturin series
written by Patrick O'Brian
. Russell Crowe
and Paul Bettany
starred in the film, alongside a large ensemble cast. A Samuel Goldwyn Films
production, Master and Commander had three American distributors, 20th Century Fox
, Miramax Films
, and Universal Studios
. Fox released the adaptation in North America, while Miramax and Universal served as its distributors overseas. It was released in US theaters on 14 November 2003, where it earned $
25.7 million on its opening weekend, debuting in second place behind Elf
. Since then, Master and Commander reached a US box office total of more than $93.9 million and after its release in foreign countries over the following few months, its worldwide gross ended at around $212 million. The movie was well received by film critics, with an approval rating of 85 percent on review aggregator
website Rotten Tomatoes
.
Master and Commander garnered various awards and nominations following its release, ranging from recognition of the film itself to its direction, screenwriting, cinematography
, and other technical categories. Performances by the cast were also honored, mainly Crowe for Best Actor, Bettany for Best Supporting Actor, and Max Pirkis
for Best Young Actor. The adaptation received ten Academy Award nominations but only won in two categories for Best Cinematography
and Best Sound Editing; in a ceremony otherwise dominated by The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
(which won every award it received a nomination for), these were the only two of the ten Master and Commander categories where Return of the King failed to earn a nomination. At the 57th British Academy Film Awards
, Master and Commander received eight nominations, ultimately winning in four of them, including the David Lean Award for Achievement in Directing
. Weir's direction received a total of eleven nominations, while he and Collee's screenwriting
earned four. The overall film received twelve nominations, coming away with accolades at the American Film Institute Awards
, London Film Critics Circle Awards
, and National Board of Review Awards
. The Golden Globes Awards
and Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards
each saw the movie earn three nominations but leave empty-handed.
