I am trying to find the title of a movie I saw in the 80's. I'd love to buy it, but can't remember the title or even who acted in it.

This is what I remember;

It was set in the south pacific in the 19th century??. Alot of the action took place on a sailing ship. At one point the mai character was marooned on a reef in water up to his chest, before being rescued. There is also a steel armoured gunship involved at some stage. At some stage of the movie the characters encounter a group of New Zealand Maori people.

If anyone has an idea of what movie I am talking about I would be really grateful.

It is in colou and I guess it was made in the late 70's early 80's, because I saw it on TV in Ireland in the late 1980's.

I think it's Nate and Hayes starring Tommy Lee Jones. It was made around 1983.

Thank you Woodwraith.

Nate and Hayes is indeed the movie I have been searching for. I just found out it was called "Savage Islands" on this side of the pond.

You wouldn't believe how long I have been searching for that movie. It is availible on dvd from amazon. So I will buy it immediately.

Once again, thank you very much. Time to relive a part of my childhood!!!!
