- Based on the Robert Louis Stevenson classic, innkeeper's son Jim Hawkins (Christian Bale) finds himself in possession of a treasure map from the doomed Captain Billy Bones (Oliver Reed). In the company of Dr. Livesey (Julian Glover) and Squire Trelawny (Richard Johnson), Jim ships out on the Hispaniola, in search of gold doubloons and pieces of eight. Hand-picking the crew for this mission is the ship's one-legged cook Long John Silver (Charlton Heston), who fully intends to mutiny, kill the treasure hunters, and claim the gold for himself.
