    The Blockbuster.com description is incorrect. The story of this wonderful movie goes something like this: an 1800s Englishman is tried for treason and is punished with "transportation", which means being sent to Australia for life. His loving, devoted family vows to accompany him. After a violent storm and they wash up on a deserted island, were they make a good life for themselves. Their son Jacob, however, was taken by escaping sailors from their ship and forced into piracy for 7 years. He is later reunited with his family, the pirates are vanquished, and the each member decides for themselves where their happiness lays. One of the best videos I have watched since "Master and Commander". A sweeping, swashbuckling tale, with magnificent south seas settings and characters you can genuinely care about, it makes a wonderful afternoon's viewing. Excellent family fare. I hope you will give "Stranded" a try.

    Our entire family enjoyed this movie! I love the Disney version, but this one had so much more...probably more like the classic book, although I've never read it. Maybe I'll do it now! Very enjoyable movie!

    JERRY H. I read the book at least twice back in the late 50's-early 60's. It's one of my favorite books of all time. I always recommend it to young readers. I don't think this movie follows the book very well but it's well worth watching.
