Product Description

Synopsis: Although the title evokes a swashbuckling adventure, Roman Polanski's Pirates tuns out to be a seagoing tale with a bit of a difference. Captain Red (Walter Matthau) runs a hardy pirate ship with the able assistance of Frog, a dashing young French sailor (Cris Campion). One day Capt. Red is captured and taken aboard a Spanish galleon, but thanks to his inventiveness, he raises the crew to mutiny, takes over the ship, and kidnaps the daughter of the governor of Maracaibo (Charlotte Lewis, soon to co-star in The Golden Child opposite Eddie Murphy). The question is, can he keep this pace up? - PIRATES is the tale of the infamous British buccaneer Pirate Red. Red and his first mate are shipwrecked and set adrift on a makeshift raft. Faced with starvation, Fate puts them in the path of a grand Spanish Galleon whose cargo includes the legendary Capatiec Hanoccac, a price-less, ancient gold throne. Imprisoned in the hull, the resourceful Red plans an escape and mutiny, determined to make hotly pursues the Spanish Lord's beautiful niece.
