Based on the popular children's novel of the same name by Wendy Orr, NIM'S ISLAND follows the adventures of Nim Rusoe (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE's Abigail Breslin), a spirited young girl who lives on a remote island with her scientist dad, Jack (300's Gerard Butler), and a host of animal companions, including an iguana, a sea lion, and a sea turtle. Nim's idyllic life gets shaken up, however, when her father goes missing while on an ocean outing. Seeking help to find Jack, Nim contacts her favorite literary hero, explorer Alex Rover (also played by Butler), who, in reality, is uptight and distinctly unadventurous author Alexa Rover (Jodie Foster). Director: Jennifer Flackett, Mark Levin Star: Jodie Foster, Gerard Butler, Abigail Breslin Running Time: 95 minutes.

A feisty young girl called Nim (ABIGAIL BRESLIN) lives on a wild tropical island with her father and her best friends Silkie the seal, the crazy iguana Fred and Galileo the plucky pelican!

When Nim's father is lost at sea and her island paradise is thrown into peril, Nim reaches out to book hero, Alex Rover (GERARD BUTLER) for help.
