The Buccaneer (1958) unfolds during the War of 1812 against Britain, where General Andrew Jackson faces a daunting challenge. With only 1,200 men, he must defend New Orleans against an impending British fleet of 60 ships and 16,000 soldiers. The strategic importance of an island near the city becomes a focal point for both sides, as it is inhabited by the notorious buccaneer, Jean Lafitte. Despite Lafitte's neutral stance towards American ships, the governor despises him for evading taxes on his merchandise, while the citizens admire him for the same reason. As the conflict intensifies, Lafitte finds himself torn between loyalties. His heart leans towards America, but his followers press him to align with the side more likely to emerge victorious.
