Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A tale about a fatherless boy finding dramatically different father figures throughout a remarkable adventure, Treasure Island is an entertaining coming-of-age story, with themes of family, loyalty, friendship, trust, and honesty at its core. While Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure tale is popular film fare, it's never been done this well. Charlton Heston stars as Long John Silver and Christian Bale as plucky Jim Hawkins in this TNT production. Directed by Heston's son Fraser (who also directed the excellent family fare Alaska), the film remains faithful to the novel, and draws much of the spirit and excitement of the book. The action scenes are first-rate, and if the ship Hispaniola has never looked better or more authentic, no surprise: the ship is the original from 1962's Mutiny on the Bounty. The opening scenes are dark and rich, as they capture the period well, with careful attention to makeup (the teeth, the body grime!) and costuming. Oliver Reed and Christopher Lee are frighteningly effective as Capt. Billy Bones and Blind Pew, and the film's first half-hour is theirs. The tone shifts and lightens when Heston appears as the legendary pirate. Look for Pete Postlethwaite, Julian Glover, and Richard Johnson in wonderful supporting roles. The film marks Bale's segue from poignantly promising child actor (Empire of the Sun) to compelling teen (he would later continue to prove his talent as a versatile young actor in Little Women and Velvet Goldmine). --N.F. Mendoza

Why is this excellent, highly entertaining, wonderful adaptation of a celebrated novel with none other than Christian Bale now of "The Machinist" fame and Charleston Hesston ("The President's Lady", "Secret of the Incas" "Solar Crisis"), Oliver Reed ("Gladiator") and Sir Christopher Lee (in celebrated roles as "Dracula", "Saruman" "Darth Vader", "Zazzerdrone") not on DVD.
Can somebody tell me please? Anybody? I loved this TV presentation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. I'd ... Read More

This is the best performance of this story that I have ever seen.
They got EVERYTHING right: acting, cinematography, music (awesome score from the Chieftans)....
I remain completely mystified as to why this prodcution is not available on DVD!!!

Fraser Heston and a great cast made the quintessential versionof R.L. Stevenson's
classic! Great perfomances by Oliver Reed, Christopher Lee, Pete Postlethwaite
and a young Christian Bale! And, of course, Charleton Heston. I do not understand why
this is not available in DVD.

If we judge a movie not by the script alone but by the acting, costumes
and scenes, this movie has it all.
Everyone has the book to start from in making the movie:
some have chosen to make a children's movie and made vanilla pirates
without the violence or language of the original.
I think this movie with some realistic blood and guts
filming is more faithful to the original
than any other version that I have seen.
I liked the movie.
