Plot Outline:
It is not a typical Seymour movie, but there's action and adventure, and a fight between right and wrong....An ordinary family decides to take a long-awaited vacation. Jack (Keach) decides to take his wife (Seymour) and their children on a boat trip. Everything is going well until one evening they are stopped by pirates. They manage to escape but are soon caught in a storm and forced to abandon their boat. Somehow they managed to find an island where their adventure begins.
Running from the pirates, encountering a young French woman who has a secret of her own, facing their own frustrations in their situation, and struggling to survive, this family learns to make the most of their situation and triumph in the end.
The greatest aspect of this movie, aside from the filming, beautifully recording and displaying the remote tropical island where the movie was filmed, is the ever-helpful orangutan, who has a few tricks up his sleeve. This movie as an easy movie for a lot of popcorn and staying home one late night.
