Saw this the first time when i was a mere 12 years old. The few times since then i have seen this film it always seems to hook me in as it was a bit cheesy although in my era alot of films were but at least they were original. Caine portrays Blair Maynard a reporter who wants to rush down to Florida to report on several vessels that have gone missing around the Bermuda Triangle area. Only thing is his ex wife has sent his son to stay with little and no notice so he promises him a trip to Disneyworld and tags him along. Upon arriving they are told the exact location of the boats and their crew that went missing so they charter a plane and head out. They meet up with an older british gentleman who soon convinces Maynard to chart a boat and take his son fishing.

Unbeknowst the adventure that they will ensue. They are soon taken hostage by a band of Buccanner wannabe 18th Century pirates and are brought to the Island. I totally loved this film and it originality something that is lacking in Hollyweird as of late.
