In this gripping adventure story, a young sailor named Robert Drury is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile. With no hope of rescue, Drury must fend for himself, haunted by the constant threat of starvation or attack by wild animals. Based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, whose ordeal became the basis for Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.
