No século 18, depois de muitos desastres marítimos devido a erros de navegação por não conseguirem determinar a Longitude, o Parlamento Britânico estabeleceu um prêmio substancial para quem encontrasse uma solução. A história principal do filme é a do artesão John Harrison que construiu um relógio que faria o trabalho, o que agora chamaríamos de cronômetro marinho. Mas o Conselho de Longitude foi tendencioso contra essa solução e alegou que o prêmio não era uma questão tão simples.
