Historische film over de Ierse opstand in 1815, uit het standpunt van Michael Martin (Hudson) verteld. Hij sluit zich aan bij een Iers revolutionair genootschap en ontmoet in Dublin de befaamde rebel Captain Thunderbolt. Martin wordt al snel de rechterhand van Thunderbolt en krijgt de naam Lightfoot.
Nee, helaas is Captain Lightfoot nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
