Down on his luck, pilot Noah Dugan has reached the end of his rope. He's deep in debt and his bookmarker's bill collectors are threatening unpleasant ways of making him pay up. When he is offered a job to fly a B-29 full of animals to an Island mission in the South Pacific, what can he say but yes. However, the plane strays off course which forces Dugan to land on an unmapped island with Bernadette Lafleur and two stowaway kids. The foursome, along with two unexpected allies, convert the downed plane into the oddest sea-going vessel ever, and then set sail on a perilous search for civilization in this contemporary adventure for the whole family! (official distributor synopsis)

At times, it's quite intense, but then it's killed by rather unnecessary scenes that try to force tears, even though none of them are genuinely powerful. But as a survival film for the whole family, it works quite well, thanks also to the casting choices, where there's no one particularly irritating, even among the children.
