              Overview

              The thin veneer of civilization is soon exposed when a plane carrying a group of schoolboys crash-lands on a deserted island, forcing them to fend for themselves. Director Peter Brook focused on bringing a gritty authenticity and realism to the film by shooting on an island, complete with basic accommodation for his young, non-professional cast, and encouraging improvisation over scripted scenes. A dark adventure story with a chilling truth at its heart.
