Five on a Treasure Island (film)

Five on a Treasure Island is the title of several film adaptations based on the first book in Enid Blyton's Famous Five series. The story follows siblings Julian, Dick, and Anne, along with their cousin Georgina (who insists on being called George), and George's loyal dog Timmy, as they spend their school holidays exploring Kirrin Island.

The island, owned by George's family, holds the ruins of Kirrin Castle. While exploring, they discover a map hidden in a locked chest. This map leads them on a thrilling treasure hunt, pitting them against dangerous and unscrupulous characters who also seek the hidden gold. The adventure tests their courage, intelligence, and loyalty to each other.

Different film adaptations have been produced over the years, varying in length, cast, and adherence to the original source material. These adaptations have been made in various countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany, appealing to a wide international audience. They have been released theatrically as feature films and as television movies. The story's themes of adventure, mystery, and the strong bond between the children have made it a popular choice for adaptation.
