From the imagination of Jules Verne comes this eye-popping adventure about a swashbuckling lighthouse keeper who has to defend his isle from invading pirates. Kirk Douglas is Denton, the loyal lighthouse keeper who finds himself in an unimaginable nightmare when the pirates, led by the indomitable Congre (a positively diabolic Yul Brenner), sack his home and hijack the lighthouse in order to drive other boats aground and pillage them. Denton must use his wits and knowledge of the rocky coast to outsmart the bloodthirsty bandits. These two acting titans face off is this ruthless movie filled with sword blades, cannon blasts, and raging infernos. It’s a stand off at the edge of the world, and you will see the light!
