Young Jim Hawkins, while running the Benbow Inn with his mother, meets Captain Billy Bones, who dies at the inn while it is beseiged by buccaneers led by Blind Pew. Jim and his mother fight off the attackers and discover Billy Bones' treasure map for which the buccaneers had come. Jim agrees to sail on the S.S. Espaniola with Squire Trelawney and Dr. Livesey to find the treasure on a mysterious isiand. Upon arriving at the island, ship's cook and scaliwag Long John Silver leads a mutiny of crew members who want the treasure for themselves. Jim helps the Squire and Espaniola officers to survive the mutiny and fight back against Silver's men, who have taken over the Espaniola. Written by Kevin McCorry <mmccorry@nb.sympatico.ca>

Trivia

In the DVD director's commentary, Fraser Heston says that they were not able to show Long John Silver's parrot on his shoulder as often as they would have liked because the bird tended to nibble on Charlton Heston's ear. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: Just after going ashore on "treasure island" Long John Silver engages in a knife fight with a young man named "Tom". During the fight Silver's knife blade bends against the ground in a very rubbery prop knife like way. See more »

Quotes

Captain Smollet/ Redruth: [the crew have just fought off the attacking mutineers]
Redruth: I got one of them in the leg, sir. I'm sorry.
Captain Smollet: Nothing to be sorry for, man. You were fighting in self-defense.
Redruth: Yes, but I was aiming for his head. This musket was firing low!
