	Movies - The Island

The Island is a 1980 film. David Warner played the leader of a band of modern-day pirates who raid yachts and sailboats of people on vacation in the Caribbean. Michael Caine played an American journalist who, along with his son, is captured by them and learns how they have escaped detection for centuries.

The United States Coast Guard cutter Dauntless stands in for the fictitious USCGC New Hope in the movie.

The movie was based on The Island (novel) by Peter Benchley, who also wrote the screenplay. Reviews were decidedly mixed, and it was considered a box office flop.
