Synopsis

The Pirate King is the epic true story of Ioannis Varvakis, a humble Greek pirate who, with the help of Catherine The Great, went on to become an international caviar millionaire but ended his days as an inmate on a remote prison island. This epic tale moves from the Greek islands, to the court of the Russian Queen, and then back to a country torn apart by revolution and civil war. This is a story of one man's journey from pirate to nobleman amid war and a fight for independence.
