I have the same question.
I looked up the movie. Is POTUS supposed to be one of the characters? From the synopsis, it doesn’t look like ANY of the characters are the good guy.
I ended up following links to various places. One mildly interesting one was Brando’s children. Maybe spoopy? Daughter hung herself. (Nowadays, I question the truth of that. But no real reason to do so that I can see, other than doubting everything I read.)
POTUS has to be the captain, the mutineers were court marshaled.
There is a much older version of “Muting on the Bounty” - 1935 - Charles Laughton and Clark Gable — if that helps.
