When a South Pacific island comes under attack from a gang of blood-thirsty bandits, young reverend Nate Williamson (Michael O'Keefe) is left for dead and his fiancee kidnapped. His only hope of rescuing her lies in an unholy alliance with the notorious buccaneer Bully Hanes (Tommy Lee Jones). Set during the mid-1800s, SAVAGE ISLANDS embodies an oppressive, lawless time when violence on the high seas was the order of the day. The film, however, offsets all the carnage with humour, romance, and a good deal of swashbuckling thrills.
