Editor's Note
Adapted from the William Golding novel. This Americanized 1990's version pits the young boys, survivors of a plane crash against nature and eventually each other. The consensus that rules should be maintained in the wilderness is soon forgotten as one boy threatens the group's coexistence and even the very lives of the individuals when he begins to draw members into a separate group.
