Blackbeard: Terror at Sea

Go inside the cunning mind of a charming criminal genius as National Geographic tells the dramatic story of this fearsome pirate who preyed on Caribbean trade routes. Blackbeard: Terror at Sea charts the exploits of Englishman Edward Teach (played by James Purefoy of HBO's hit series Rome, Vanity Fair, and A Knight's Tale), an intelligent and charismatic leader who confounded the powers of England and Virginia as he overtook and pillaged 40 ships in two years, stealing hidden cargo and precious exports to and from the Caribbean. Featuring sea chases, cannon battles and swordplay, Blackbeard: Terror at Sea provides an exciting dramatization of one of the most notorious men in American history. (official distributor synopsis)
