Treasure Planet

When 15-year-old Jim Hawkins stumbles upon a map to the greatest pirate trove in the universe, he sets off on an intergalactic treasure hunt as a cabin boy aboard a glittering space galleon with a hilarious cosmic crew headed by the daring Captain Amelia.

Befriended by the ship's charismatic cyborg (part man, part machine) cook John Silver, Jim blossoms under his guidance, and shows the makings of a fine spacer as he and the alien crew battle supernovas, black holes, and ferocious space storms. But even greater dangers lie ahead when Jim discovers that his trusted friend Sliver is actually a scheming pirate with mutiny in mind.

Buckle up for thrills and excitement, based on one of the greatest adventure stories ever told – R L Stevenson's Treasure Island.
