The book "The Lord of the Flies", with which its author, William Golding, won the Nobel Prize for Literature, written by Jay Presson Allen and directed by Harry Hook, in 1990. Through the expressive and competent interpretations of his young cast , this impressive adventure explores the dark and gloomy corners of the human mind, telling the story of a group of teenagers who are hurled into a huge world, where law and reliability are governed by the need for survival. After a plane crashes in the middle of the sea, a group of American military cadets find themselves isolated on a desert island. Realizing that the chances of rescue are minimal, young people approach by fear and despair. As they adapt, the competition and power struggle begins to divide them into two groups, Ralph (Balthazar Getty), leads the group and preaches civilized ingenuity and cooperation, but Jack (Chris Furrh) builds a faction of ruthless hunters, who end up at war with Ralph. This powerful shift in consciousness turns normal boys into primitive killers, starting a devastating battle of good against evil and bringing up the disturbing metaphor of the savage within us all. An appreciable material for anthropological study.
