Treasure Island is about a boy called Jim who unknowingly travels with some pirates and has to guard a treasure map from Long John Silver and his crew. They travel to a deserted island and there is a battle over who can find the treasure first. This film is filled with weapons but it isnt gory. The ending was happy in some ways and the actors were brilliant. Overall I really enjoyed this film.

Fascinating facts
