Which is better—law and rescue or hunting and breaking things up? To have rules and agree or to hunt and kill like a pack of savages?
A plane crash on a desert island abandons a group of young survivors to fend for themselves. Quickly, tribal loyalties start to form.
Despite attempts by Ralph and Piggy to keep order, school rules are shed along with their uniforms, and friendly alliances fast become ferocious divisions.
As the children threaten to turn feral, a deadly struggle ensues between Ralph and his leadership rival, Jack. Will chaos overcome humanity—or, with a world at war beyond the island, can rescue come in time to save them?
