Jules Verne Takes You Over the Edge of the World!

Overview

Pirates take over a lighthouse on a rocky island. They then execute a devious plan to cause ships to run aground, pillaging their wrecks. A lone member of the lighthouse crew survives, and he deperately fights their plot. A shipwrecked maiden that avoids the pirates slaughter soon complicates the situation.

**_Kirk Douglas vs. Yul Brynner & his pirates on a rocky coastal landscape in 1865_**

The events take place at a remote lighthouse near Tierra Del Fuego with the story based on Jules Verne’s “The Lighthouse at the End of World.” The French author wrote the first draft in 1901, and his son finished it after his death, 1905. Verne was inspired by the real-life lighthouse on the Isla de los Estados, Argentina, located at the southern tip of South America. Keep in mind that ships had to regularly take that long route before the Panama Canal was created in 1914.
