Britannic is a 2000 spy TV film, directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith and produced for cable network Fox Family. It is a fictional account of the sinking of His Majesty's Hospital Ship Britannic off the Greek island of Kea in November 1916; it features a German agent sabotaging the ocean liner, which was then serving as a hospital ship for the British Army. The film stars Edward Atterton and Amanda Ryan, with Jacqueline Bisset, Ben Daniels, John Rhys-Davies and Bruce Payne as co-stars.
In Southampton in 1916, HMHS Britannic, a sister ship of RMS Titanic, has been refitted as a hospital ship for soldiers fighting in the Gallipoli Campaign. Among the nurses who are to serve aboard her is Lady Lewis (Jacqueline Bisset), who is being delivered to Greece via Naples, where her husband has become Ambassador for Great Britain. Traveling with her is Vera Campbell (Amanda Ryan), an operative of British Intelligence posing as Lady Lewis' governess. Campbell is unnerved by the voyage, having survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic four years previously, losing her husband as well. She reports her mission to Captain Bartlett (John Rhys-Davies) who is dubious that a woman can do such a job.
