Treasure Island
Directed by: Fraser Clark Heston
Starring: Charleton Heston, Christian Bale, Oliver Reed, Christopher Lee
Rated: Not Rated (unofficial rating would be PG-13 for adventure violence and some language)
Nothing quite captures the adventure of Robert Louis Stevenson’s book Treasure Island quite like the 1990 Turner Classic adaptation starring Charleton Heston and a teenage Christian Bale. While the movie is far from outstanding, is does capture the sense of adventure that swash-buckling film should. And it’s also fun to see the iconic Heston in such a villainous role, or the young Christian Bale at the dawn of his career. Add that to the fine score by the Celtic band The Chieftains, and you get a fine adventure film that is as exciting as it is fun.
