In this high-seas adventure set in the 1600s, a British sea captain must go undercover, join a pirate band, and capture the notorious Captain Henry Morgan. But Morgan is on to the ruse and is well prepared when the sea captain makes his move. As the two engage in mortal combat, they are knocked unconscious and dragged to the governor of Tortuga who prepares to hang them both as pirates. Fortunately, a stowaway aboard the pirate vessel steps forward and reveals the hero's true identity and saves him. Morgan is not so lucky. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

The sea adventure Pirates of Tortuga gets its initial DVD release with this disc that offers a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1, and is preferable in every way to the standard full-frame image. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital Stereo and Dolby Digital Mono, while a Spanish soundtrack has also been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, but the reasonable list price of this title makes it an interesting option for genre enthusiasts. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
