"The Island" is a 1980 film. David Warner played the leader of a band of modern-day pirates who raid yachts and sailing boats in the Caribbean. Michael Caine played a journalist who, along with his son, is captured by them and learns how they have escaped detection for centuries.

The movie was based on the novel also called "The Island" by Peter Benchley, who also wrote the screenplay. Reviews were generally poor, and the film was not a box office success. However, since then it has gained a cult following with a request for it to be released on DVD.

The United States Coast Guard cutter "Dauntless" stands in for the fictitious USCGC "New Hope" in the movie.
