Brief synopsis of Krakatoa - East Of Java

Treasure hunters in the South Pacific find more than doubloons, as the titular volcano threatens to wash out the tiny island of Java (of which Krakatoa actually lies west) with a giant tsunami. Based on an actual massive eruption in the 1800s, which devastated the island and killed thousands.

Rated - 5 starsthe original disaster movie

Philip from camelford , 15/11/2004

You have exploding volcanoes, escaping convicts and huge tidal waves in this original disaster movie. Set on a steamer during Victorian times. They search for sunken treasure, but get into a load of trouble. Most of the cast die as the tidal wave hits.

Rated - 2 starsWild volcano, tame plot

Bob from Norwich , 27/01/2006

The story is a tangle of sub plots in the shadow of an erupting volcano. The real life experiences of those who happened to be caught up in the cataclysmic disaster would have made a more gripping tale
