This is a story few boy named Jim Hawkins who lives in
England together with his mother and father at the family’s inn. A loud and
drunk man whose name is Billy Bones rents a room from the Hawkins and warns Jim
to be aware of a one-legged man. After Jim’s father died, Billy Bones is
visited by a couple of buccaneers who always threaten to kill him, revealing
that Billy Bones was the first mate to the notorious pirate. Captain Flint,
Billy Bones dies of a stroke and Jim searches through his belongings and finds
a treasure map to Flint’s treasure. The buccaneers break into the family's inn
and try to find the map, but Jim and his mother hide safely. As Jim’s mother
stays to watch the family's inn, Jim seeks the help of Dr. Livesey and Squire
Trelawney.
They decide to go after the treasure and Squire Trelawney
funds the expedition by buying a ship, the Hispaniola, and hiring a crew with
the help of a one-legged cook named Long John Silver. After hiring Captain
Smollett, the voyage begins, although the captain is always hesitant about the
crew. As the journey begins after sometime, Jim overhears Long John Silver
talking to a few others about their plan to kill the Captain and the Squire so
that they can get the treasure themselves.
Jim warned Captain Smollett and they prepare for a fight as
the island just spotted on the horizon. Captain Smollett allows John and some
of the crew to spend their afternoon on the island as Jim sneaks on a boat to
shore. As soon as the boat hits the beach, Jim took the chance to takes off and
runs. Jim meets a person name Ben Gunn, a former mate of Flint who has been
marooned on the island for a couple of years. Meanwhile, Captain Smollett,
Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and a few others get on a ship and row to the
island to flee the mutiny by Long John’s men aboard the Hispaniola. As they
were out for a long time they are low on supplies but reunite with Jim.
The group takes refuge in a house-like structure waiting for
an attack from Long John and the pirates. Seeing this Long John appears and
wants to talk terms, but Captain Smollett refuses. The pirates decided to
attack and due to this fight many of the pirates are killed. Just after that
Dr. Livesey leaves to seek out Ben Gunn, while Jim sneaks away to Ben Gunn’s
handmade boat to chop the anchor of the Hispaniola. Jim succeeds, but is
shipped adrift with the present . Jim eventually drifts back to the Hispaniola
and takes the control of the ship, leading it toward the island. Jim returns to
the house-like structure, expecting to ascertain his comrades, but is instead
greeted by Long John and his group. Long John explains to Jim that there's a
truce whereby they got the map by Dr. Livesey with the promise of being left
alone by the pirates.
Dr. Livesey visits Jim and offers him a chance to escape,
but Jim refuses after promising to not run away. Long John faces mutiny among
the pirates, but survives, as he was leading the group to the treasure. The
pirates arrive at the treasure location, but discover that it has been dug up.
Fighting ensues and Dr. Livesey and Ben Gunn rescue Jim and Long John. They
visit the security of Ben Gunn’s cave, where he has stored the treasure after
having dug it up himself. The treasure is loaded onto the Hispaniola and
therefore the men sail away, leaving a number of the pirates behind. During the
journey home, Long John escapes on a ship with a sack of gold. In the end, they
all return to England and split the treasure earned.
