"A plane carrying a group of schoolboys crash lands on a deserted island. With no adult survivors, the boys are forced to fend for themselves. At first they cooperate, but when the they split into two separate camps – one led by the pragmatic Ralph and the other by militaristic Jack – their society falls into disarray, leading to a disturbing examination of human nature.

"Elokuva toimii oikeastaan vain tarinansa ansiosta. Muuten tämä on kömpelö tuotos, mutta yksittäisten hetkien ja ajoittain hyvien roolisuoritusten ansiosta elokuva pysyy ihan ok -tasoisena koko kestonsa ajan. Ei ihmeellinen muttei huonokaan."
