Two cultures collide in this vast, lavish and truly spectacular film. Adapted from James A. Michener's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and nominated for seven Oscars, this "majestic, gorgeously framed epic" is "adventuresome picture-making, a credit to the industry" (The Film Daily) and riveting entertainment. They came to bring God, but instead brought disease and destruction. The Rev. Abner Hale (Max Von Sydow) and his gentle wife Jerusha (Julie Andrews) attempt to convert early 19th-century Hawaiian natives to Christianity-but find themselves ill-equipped to endure the unexpected tribulations of paradise. Surging with the excitement of windstorms, firestorms, shark attacks and magnificent island scenery, Hawaii shines as passionately as the island paradise itself!
