Storyline

After their plane crashes off the coast of a deserted Pacific island, the surviving members of an American soccer team find themselves in the most dire of circumstances with limited resources, dwindling food supply and no rescue coming any time soon. Team spirit evaporates as disagreements cause the group to separate into factions - a violent one lead by an unbalanced ruler (Peck), and a compassionate one led by a selfless player (Parker).

User Reviews

Wait For It

So I really tried to like this movie because I read all of the terrible reviews. I wasn't a fan of the book Lord of the Flies when I had to read it in school, but grew to appreciate it as I matured. Definitely see the comparison. Opening really foreshadowed events to come. I felt like they missed a bit with the lack of real character development in this movie, but I urge you to watch it to the end.

I ended up liking this movie more than I thought I was going to. So Rock On! #iheartslim
