English Summary:
The Island of Dr. Moreau is a 1977 American science fiction film and is the second English-language adaptation of the H. G. Wells novel of the same name, a story of a scientist who attempts to convert animals into human beings. The film stars Burt Lancaster, Michael York, Nigel Davenport, Barbara Carrera and Richard Basehart, and is directed by Don Taylor.
Ship's engineer Andrew Braddock (York) and two other men are floating in a lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific following the wreck of the ship Lady Vain. One dies at sea. After seventeen days at sea, Braddock and the other man land on an island, where the other man accompanying Braddock is promptly killed by animals. Braddock is nursed back to health in the compound governed by the mysterious scientist "Dr. Moreau" (Lancaster). Besides Moreau, the inhabitants of the compound include Moreau's associate, Montgomery (Davenport), a mercenary; Moreau's mute, misshapen servant, M'Ling (Cravat); and a ravishing young woman named Maria (Carrera). Moreau warns Braddock not to leave the compound at night.
Hungarian Summary:
Andrew Braddock (Michael York) hajótörés áldozataként hányódik a tengeren. Amikor a gyötrelmes napok után végre szárazföldet pillant meg, fel sem merül benne, hogy ami a parton várja, talán rosszabb a biztos halálnál. A sziget ura, Dr. Moreau (Burt Lancaster) ördögi kísérleteket folytat a világ e rejtett zugában, távol a kíváncsi tekintetektől. Bár Braddockot barátságosan fogadják, a vadonban soha nem látott lényekre figyel fel. Ők a sziget őrült urának szerencsétlen teremtményei, félig emberi, félig állati lények, akik bár értelmesek, mégis vadak és kiszámíthatatlanok. Braddock érzi, hogy nincs biztonságban. Egyaránt fenyegetik a bestiális teremtmények és a veszedelmes tudós. Úgy dönt, ismét tengerre száll, de Dr. Moreau vendégszeretetétől nem lehet egykönnyen megszabadulni…
H.G. Wells klasszikus regényének filmváltozata.
