Geena Davis and Matthew Modine star in Renny Harlin's famous mega-budget adventure swashbuckler. It follows Morgan (Geena Davi), the daughter of a famous pirate who is on a quest to find fabled riches. Enlisting the help of William (Matthew Modine), they begin a tempestuous journey but Morgan's villainous Uncle (Frank Langella) is in hot pursuit. This glorious restoration of Cutthroat Island shows how spectacular this guilty pleasure really is. There is no other pirate film like it!
