'''''The Island''''' is a 1980 American [[thriller film]], directed by [[Michael Ritchie (film director)|Michael Ritchie]] and starring [[Michael Caine]] and [[David Warner (actor)|David Warner]]. The film was based on a [[The Island (1979 novel)|novel of the same name]] by [[Peter Benchley]] who also wrote the screenplay. It is about a savage race of ancient pirates, made up of outcasts, thieves, and murderers, who are hidden from the outside world by an uncharted [[Caribbean]] [[island]], and who raid boats to sustain themselves. <br />
<br />
==Plot synopsis==<br />
Blair Maynard ([[Michael Caine]]) is a [[United Kingdom|British]]-born [[United States|American]] [[journalist]] who decides to investigate the mystery of why so many boats disappear in the [[Bermuda Triangle]] of the [[Caribbean]]. He takes his estranged son with him to the area on the "vacation" and, while fishing, are both attacked by an unkempt man and brought to an uncharted island. On the island, Blair discovers the terrible truth: the inhabitants on the island are actually a centuries old, colony of savage [[France|French]] [[pirate]]s. <br />
<br />
The group has been living on the island for centuries, unseen by society, who sustain themselves by raiding pleasure boats. The pirates kill whoever comes to the island, however, Blair and his son are both kept alive due to a false assumption regarding their lineage and a need to offset the negative effects of inbreeding. Blair is used to impregnate a female (Angela Punch Mcgregor) and act as a [[scribe]] for the largely illiterate group, while his son is brainwashed to become a surrogate heir to the pirate leader ([[David Warner]]). Blair struggles to escape from the island, but all attempts fail. <br />
<br />
The pirates finally make a mistake when they are confronted by a [[United States Coast Guard|US Coast Guard]] ship, but manage to overpower the crew and take over the vessel. Maynard sneaks aboard and, while the pirates are gathered on the deck of the ship, he discovers a machine gun under a tarp. He uses the weapon to kill the pirates and saves his son.<br />
<br />
==Production==<br />
The [[United States Coast Guard]] [[Cutter (ship)|cutter]] [[USCGC Dauntless (WMEC-624)|''Dauntless'']] stands in for the fictitious USCGC ''New Hope'' in the movie.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
Reviews were generally very negative, and the film, which had hoped to be a summer blockbuster, performed poorly at the box office despite a large $22 million budget and highly regarded director. Despite this however, it has gained an increasingly strong [[cult film|cult following]] from fans of the film and Peter Benchley. The film's lack of success has resulted in it never getting a [[DVD]] release, though fans continue to ask for one from [[Universal Studios|Universal Studios]].<br />
On July 27, 2011, Universal released the film on DVD as part of its Universal Vault Series.<br />
