Krakatoa - East Of Java
1969, 106 minutes, Rated PG
The Dutch East Indies, in the late 19th century. Capt. Hanson of the "Batavia Queen" is preparing to embark on a salvage expedition. His mistress, Laura, knows the location of a ship belonging to her late husband, a shipwreck concealing a cargo of rare pearls. A diver and a diving bell are aboard ship. But a government agent coerces Hanson into accepting a shipment of convicts for the ship's hold. The wreck lies dangerously close to the erupting volcano on the island of Krakatoa, where Laura's young son attends the convent school...
Join in the adventure and danger of the original - and best - volcano movie as Captain Chris Hanson and a group of eager treasure hunters search the Indonesian waters for a sunken pearl ship. Recruiting an over-the-hill deep-sea diver, a claustrophobic inventor and some beautiful Polynesian pearl divers for good measure, Capt. Hanson's voyage is placed in peril when he is ordered to transport 30 dangerous criminals to a nearby prison island. But that is the least of their problems. They find the wreck of the Arianna lying in the waters close to the erupting volcano Krakatoa, and its violent outbursts signal a far more deadly shock to come.
With Oscar nominated special effects, "Krakatoa" will have you on the edge of your seat as our heroes face all of nature's wrath from molten lava to massive tidal waves.
