A mitad del siglo XVII los Países Bajos conforman una de las más grandes potencias marítimas del mundo. Después de la muerte del legendario almirante Maarten Tromp, Michiel de Ruyter es designado su sucesor. En lo político, la nación holandesa está dividida. Orangistas y republicanos luchan por el poder. Johan de Witt es el hombre más poderoso de la República pero un joven y ambicioso príncipe Guillermo III lidera la oposición. Al margen de sus disputas internas el país está en guerra con su principal rival naval, Gran Bretaña. De Ruyter tiene éxito en aplastar la flota inglesa mediante el uso de una estrategia ingeniosa lo cual le convierte en una de los personajes más populares e influyentes y por tanto, un hombre clave en el conflicto político interno del país.

Dutch people fully demonstrate that historical epic films are no longer just the domain of American production, but other countries can handle them without any problems, and in a quality that is sometimes stunning. The naval battles here are truly great, at times a bit too melodramatic, but surprisingly it didn't matter that much. It belongs to biographical films. Excellent.

It would never occur to me that the Dutch would make a European blockbuster with everything it entails. Does a similar genre actually exist?

If the ending hadn’t desperately tried to appeal to the viewers’ emotions, the film would have deserved five stars. The 130-minute running time was by no means a waste of time. Never have I seen such epic and beautifully filmed ship-of-the-line warfare. This was some masterful filmmaking on the part of the Dutch. In the moments between exciting action, intrigue was in full swing. The family matters did slightly slow it down, though. The writers bent history to their own image. But, compared to Pearl Harbor it’s like comparing a diamond to a piece of excrement. A truly excellent, epic, and beautiful film.
