Storyline
A group of young boys are stranded alone on an island. Left to fend for themselves, they must take on the responsibilities of adults, even if they are not ready to do so. Inevitably, two factions form: one group (lead by Ralph) want to build shelters and collect food, whereas Jack's group would rather have fun and HUNT; illustrating the difference between civilization and savagery. Written by Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>

Trivia
During the first week of film shooting on the Island of Vieques, Puerto Rico, the Bay of Pigs Invasion began. This impacted filming because the wounded were evacuated to the U.S. naval hospital on Vieques. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: As Piggy is nearsighted, his spectacles could not be used as a "magnifying glass" to light a bonfire: lenses for nearsightedness would scatter, not concentrate, the sun's rays. (This error occurs in the original novel and was perpetuated in Lord of the Flies.) See more »
