Michael Caine stars as an investigative writer for a news magazine who doggedly tracks down one of the most baffling mysteries of modern times - the disappearance of pleasure craft and passengers from one area of the Caribbean. It is in this area of the sea that descendants of seventeenth-century buccaneers, trapped in a time warp, persist in their marauding ways. Caine is captured by these pirates who need his services to help improve their degenerated gene pool. Caine's twelve-year-old son is converted to the pirates' heathen ways and turns against his father in this super thriller from the author of "Jaws" and "The Deep."

Immerse yourself in the narrative twists of the incredibly popular Charles Dickens tale about a young orphan who meets a gang of pickpockets.

The year is 1910 and Holmes' brother has asked him to travel to Vienna and recover the stolen plans and prototype for an electro-magnetic bomb detonator. Their investigation will lead Holmes into the arms of his long lost love, opera singer Irene Adler (Morgan Fairchild), but can the duo stop the ruthless and charming villain whose escapades are threatening to throw the world into war?
