Treasure Island is a 1990 film adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous 1883 novel Treasure Island. It was filmed in 1989 on location in Cornwall, England, and in Jamaica, and also at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England. Jim Hawkins discovers a treasure map and embarks on a journey to find the treasure, but pirates led by Long John Silver have plans to take the treasure for themselves by way of mutiny. The film was an original production filmed and aired by the TNT network, and directed by Fraser Clarke Heston ; it was released theatrically outside the USA. The name has... appeared on some film covers as "Devils Treasure", rather than "Treasure Island". This version of the story is noted for its faithfulness to the book, with much of the dialogue coming directly from it. It also removes several violent scenes from the book. The music was composed by Paddy Moloney, leader of the Irish folk music group The Chieftains, and performed by the group; selections from it can be heard on their album Reel Music: The Filmscores.
