The elderly pirate Billy Bones settles in a tavern. Jim Hawkins finds in his chest a map of Treasure Island, collects a team and sets off on a journey.[4]
Young Jim Hawkins, dreaming of thrilling romantic adventures, comes into possession of an ancient sea chart pointing the way to the legendary pirate Captain Flint’s treasure. The hoard is hidden on a remote island lost in the ocean. Accompanied by Dr. Livesey, Squire Trelawney, and Captain Smollett, Jim joins the crew of the schooner Hispaniola as a cabin boy, setting sail on a perilous voyage. However, the ship's crew includes pirates who were once part of Captain Flint’s band, led by the cunning cook John Silver. Silver orchestrates a mutiny, forcing Smollett’s loyal crew to fight for survival.
Taking refuge on the island in Captain Flint’s old fort, Smollett, Trelawney, and Livesey fend off Silver’s assault, but the battle leaves the fort’s defenders wounded and outnumbered. Jim Hawkins bravely escapes the fort and maneuvers the Hispaniola to a safer location, killing the treacherous boatswain Israel Hands in self-defense. However, Jim is captured by the pirates, who take him along on their quest for the treasure. They soon walk into an ambush, losing two of their men while the rest flee. Smollett’s party secures the treasure and safely returns to Bristol, victorious in their adventure.
