Adventure heads to the high seas in this daring, gritty and authentic re-imaging of the world's most beloved pirate tale. When young Jim Hawkins stumbles upon a coveted treasure map, he sets off on the frenzied voyage across tumultuous waters to find the legendary loot. Jim's only friend aboard the ship is a charismatic cook named Silver (Primetime Emmy winner Eddie Izzard), whose real motives soon become deadly clear.
