Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Lost Treasure
Stephen Baldwin plays a man who is after buried treasure. His brother is a cop and wants to search for it too. Unfortunately a crooked cop in the force also wants it and kidnaps the brother and forces him to show him the location of the treasure. The treasure is located on a small Carribbean island, where it is thought that Columbus landed when he discovered America. It is thought that Columbus left behind some trinkets he had on board for safe keeping. In the meantime, Stephen Baldwin hires a charter plane to take him to the island. Another couple goes along for the ride, unknowing that they are all going to be in grave danger. The plane crashlands on the island, torrential storms making the conditions terrible, and to top it off, the criminals got to the island first and are trying to force the brother to reveal the location of the treasure. Who will get to it first?
