When a group of young schoolboys are stranded on a Pacific island following a plane crash, they initially regard it as a grand adventure. However, after splitting into two rival groups, the children gradually descend into tribal warfare.

Following a plane crash a group of schoolboys find themsleves on a deserted island. They appoint a leader and attempt to create an organised society for the sake of their survival. Democracy and order soon begin to crumble when a breakaway faction forms and quickly regresses to brutal savagery with horrifying consequences. Peter Brook s classic adaptation of William Golding s novel has lost none of the impact it made when given an X certificate on its 1963 release. Shot with a raw style, the film has a chilling air of realism and still retains the power to shock.
