They Atomize On An Island & Flip Their Airplane Into A Boat But Need to Ship A Zoo W/ Them

On a missionary trip gone wrong, a pilot isforced to crash-land his plane full of animals on an uncharted island in the Pacific. With nohope of rescue, his only chance of survival is to convert the old B-29 into a ship. On a calm and peaceful morning, Noah Dugan, a cynical and jaded pilot, is rudely wokenby two men named Coslough and Benchley, who barge into his apartment to demand he paythe money he owes Mr. Parker within 24 hours. Before they leave, the two men beat him upand remind him once more of the deadline. The following day, Noah tries to applyfor work but is denied multiple times due to his infamous poor behavior. Luckily, his old friend Stoney has a job for him since the previous pilot bailed. As they walk towards the air base,.

Stoney explains that the task will be easy, asit only requires him to fly a cargo of animals to a remote Pacific island called Makuarana. However, Noah senses a catch and realizes that he has to use a run-down B-29 and flatly refuses,since flying with animals in an old plane is a recipe for disaster. Stoney argues thatthe animals are sacred beasts brought up at an orphanage by missionaries BernadetteLafleur and Charlotte Brathwaite. However, Noah isn't swayed, so Bernadetteasks Stoney for a refund, who, unfortunately, has spent her cash. She then threatens to rat himout to the police, so the frightened Stoney begs Noah to take the job. Noah demands $5,000 upfront,but settles on receiving the $2,000 cash now, with the $3,000 cheque to follow. Afterward, Noah checks the plane and.

Grumbles about how outdated it is. Bernadette thenspots Petey, a duck, climb into one of the shafts, so Noah crawls inside to rescue it. Theduck pecks him for handling it violently, and the shaft collapses under his weight. Nearby, Coslough and Benchley observe to see if Noah won't try to escape. However, they'reskeptical and decide to antagonize him again. Meanwhile, an infuriated Noah walks away andmakes up his mind about not taking the job. Then, he spots Mr. Parker's cronies comingfor him, and decides he'll take the job if Stoney distracts the men. Noah then runs back to the plane, while Stoney leads the men to hisoffice to buy the pilot some time. Noah then orders everyone from theorphanage to hurry loading the cargo. .

Impatient on how uncooperative some of theanimals are, he starts yelling at them, when he’s reprimanded by one of the orphans namedBobby for being inconsiderate of their feelings. Bobby explains that he has to talk gently withthe creatures, and demonstrates by leading Brutus the bull into the plane easily. However,Noah isn't impressed and dismisses him. Afterward, he dashes back tohis car to retrieve his luggage, stealthily evading the two men sent after him. Bobby and Julie wish to join Bernadette on the journey, but the missionary explains that she mustgo and teach the people of Makuarana how to care for the animals. She then bids the two orphansfarewell and accompanies Noah to the plane. As the children watch them board the B-29,Bobby tells Julie he's concerned that Noah.

Might mistreat the animals and decides to stowaway to ensure they are properly cared for. Not wanting to be left behind, Julie follows him,and both children manage to sneak inside the cargo hold just as the aircraft begins taxiing. Charlotte and the rest of the orphans are horrified to discover Bobby and Julie aboard,and try to stop Noah from taking off. However, Noah and Bernadette think they're wavinggoodbye and return the gesture. Meanwhile, the men realize that Stoney hastricked them and attempt to block the plane but fail, as Noah successfully takes off. As per his tradition during every takeoff and landing, Noah lights a cigar, but Bernadetteabhors the smoke and moves to the back. A few hours later, a bored Bernadette plays someclassical music, annoying Noah. He proposes he.

Hours later, Noah begins to feel sleepyand tries to put the aircraft on autopilot, but to his chagrin, the autopilot is broken.Bernadette offers to take over to let him rest, assuring him she knows how to pilot a plane.Noah is dubious but allows her to take control for a while to see if she can manage, whenPetey suddenly flies into the cockpit. They turn around and are shocked tosee the orphans onboard. Bobby tells Bernadette that Melinda the cow is sick, soNoah hurries along to the cargo hold to check, but Brutus the bull knocks him out. The orphans then inform Bernadette of the situation, but since she can't leave thecockpit, she tries to reassure them that.

Noah will awaken soon. Fortunately, he does,and takes over the flying duties again. The next day, Noah tells Bernadette toanticipate the sunrise from the tail, but is surprised to find it rising by the wing.He then realizes that Bernadette's cassette player has been interfering with the compass' magneticfield, making them fly off course. With their dwindling fuel supply, Noah ultimately decidesto fly until they can spot somewhere to land, as they've flown too far to turn back. Noah tries to radio for help, but to no avail. He sees them praying and gets annoyed, but Bernadettetells him there’s no harm in praying. Just as the plane is running dangerously lowon fuel, Bobby spots an island in the distance, and Noah decides to land there. After securing the kids,.

Bernadette lights a cigar for Noah andsits back down to help him pilot. He then carefully lands the plane on the beach andthey all, fortunately, come out unscathed. Julie thanks Noah for landing themsafely and follows Bobby into the cargo hold to check on the animals.

Noah surmises that Bernadette got her heart broken, which triggers an argument. Moments later, Bobby and Julie spot a Japanese hideout and rush back to theircampsite to inform the adults. They return with the grownups, andNoah deduces that the two elderly Japanese soldiers are unaware that World WarII is over, and orders them to retreat. .

They return to the plane to hide, butBernadette insists they must talk with the men. The soldiers then arrive and tryto attack them, but their weapons fail. Using the opportunity as an opening,Noah shoots at them with a flare gun, and the Japanese fall back immediately. Julie hugs Noah, and thanks him, but Bobby doesn't, since he dislikes the pilot. Bernadette feels terrible for the soldiers, believing they've been humiliated by theirdefeat. Noah is appalled at her statement, and cites how he could've been killed,but Bernadette doesn't listen as she's adamant about befriending them.

The following day, they try to pull the B-29 off the beach to no avail, when the soldiersarrive and tell them that it's a bad idea. They propose that they turn the aircraft into a boat,but it’ll require flipping it upside down. Noah objects to their plan, and suggests theystand by for help. However, Cleveland tells him there's no hope in rescue, as they'vebeen stuck on the island for decades. This convinces Noah, and they beginconstructing the boat. They remove.

The wings and other unnecessary parts,and form the tail into a rudder. Afterward, they flip the plane over with Brutus’help, place batteries inside, fill up the holes with bamboo, and construct a central mast.

An apologetic Bernadette is aboutto erase it, when Noah changes his mind. Afterward, Noah and Bernadette spend timetogether at the beach, growing more in love. Days later, Noah launches the boat into thewater to catch the tide. The Japanese men then swim after them and tell them to steer the shipfaster, because they've rigged their hideout with explosives. Noah is stunned with what they'vedone, but Cleveland assures him that Commander.

Hiro designed the boat well and they won'tneed to return to the island for repairs. The group then sails away, with theJapanese steering the ship.
