剧情将谈论一个没有答案的道德问题：在那个没有法纪的年代里，究竟烧杀掳掠的海盗是坏人，还是冷血无情的英国王室是坏人？ 1715年，大西洋，新普罗维登斯岛，巴哈马。 具有讽刺意味的是，在这个海盗出没的地方，竟诞生了美洲大陆上第一个正式的「民主政权」。当时统治这里的是杀人如麻的海盗王Edward Teach（John Malkovich），人送外号「黑胡子」（Blackbeard）。他组建起一个由小偷、匪徒、恶棍水手组成的流氓国度——这里一半地方是下等酒馆，另一半地方则是私掠者的天堂。「海盗王国」的出现震惊了全世界，全球的海上商贸活动面临前所未有的威胁。 为了终结这个可怕的社会并最终夺取它的控制权，训练有素的秘密刺客Tom Loew被英国王室派到岛上执行刺杀「黑胡子」的任务。这是一项艰难的任务——聪明绝顶的「黑胡子」可不会坐以待毙！可当Lowe距离自己的刺杀目标越近，他就越发现这件事的蹊跷。后来，Lowe竟钦佩起「黑胡子」的政治理念来。「黑胡子」是个比较开化、喜欢学习的人，大有「求知若渴」之势。为了得到知识，他不惜采用一切手段。对「黑胡子」来说，Lowe并非唯一威胁其统治的力量——他有许多竞争对手，一个比一个邪恶。更糟的是，他有一个巨大的弱点：他深爱着一个女人。
"Crossbones," a 2014 television series produced by Mr. Cross and Universal Television in the United States, delves into the swashbuckling world of piracy with a focus on the notorious figure, Edward "Blackbeard" Teach. Set in 1715 on the fictional island of New Providence, the series offers a fresh take on the legendary pirate, portraying him not just as a fearsome marauder but also as a cunning strategist with a keen interest in science and politics. The show's narrative is driven by the tension between Blackbeard and a British spy, Tom Lowe, who infiltrates the pirate's inner circle with the mission to assassinate him, only to find himself entangled in the complex web of alliances and betrayals. The series boasts a rich ensemble cast, with John Malkovich delivering a captivating performance as Blackbeard, bringing depth and nuance to the character. His portrayal captures the pirate's charisma and intelligence, making him a compelling anti-hero. The supporting characters, including the cunning Kate Balfour and the conflicted Tom Lowe, add layers to the story, each with their own motivations and secrets. The lush, tropical setting of New Providence serves as a vivid backdrop, enhancing the show's atmosphere of danger and intrigue. "Crossbones" ambitiously blends historical elements with fictional storytelling, creating a unique narrative that explores themes of power, loyalty, and survival. The series does not shy away from depicting the brutal realities of pirate life, yet it also delves into the intellectual pursuits of its characters, particularly Blackbeard's fascination with science and his quest for a chronometer that could revolutionize navigation. This blend of action, drama, and intellectual curiosity sets "Crossbones" apart from typical pirate tales, offering viewers a more complex and thought-provoking experience. Despite its intriguing premise and strong performances, "Crossbones" struggled to find a broad audience and was ultimately canceled after one season. However, the show remains a notable entry in the pirate genre, appreciated by those who enjoy a more cerebral approach to historical drama. Its bold storytelling and the memorable portrayal of Blackbeard by John Malkovich ensure that "Crossbones" holds a special place in the annals of television piracy.
