Amidst a nuclear war a plane carrying a group of schoolboys crash lands on a deserted island. With no adult survivors the boys are forced to fend for themselves. At first they cooperate but when they split into two separate camps -- one led by the pragmatic Ralph and the other by militaristic Jack -- their society falls into disarray leading to a disturbing examination of human nature and a chilling conclusion.
