The Sea Hawk (1940) is set in the tumultuous 1580s, where daring privateers, known as Sea Hawks, safeguard British interests against the growing might of Philip of Spain. Captain Geoffrey Thorpe (Errol Flynn), the most audacious of these Sea Hawks, has a reputation for seizing and destroying over 50 Spanish ships and decimating ten Spanish cities. His latest conquest, a Spanish galleon, brings unexpected complications: a romantic entanglement with the ambassador's niece (Brenda Marshall) and the revelation of a Spanish plot to infiltrate the court of Elizabeth I (Flora Robson) with spies. Thorpe's daring raid on a treasure caravan in Panama, however, backfires due to betrayal within Elizabeth's court, leading to his capture and enslavement on a Spanish ship. Meanwhile, Philip of Spain plots to eliminate the threat posed by Elizabeth's naval independence by invading the island nation with his formidable armada. Chained to an oar, Thorpe uncovers the identity of the traitor and devises a plan to expose both the traitor and Philip's schemes. The question remains: can Thorpe and his crew break free and return to England in time to thwart the impending invasion?
