Two noble Scottish brothers deliberately take opposite sides when Bonnie Prince Charlie returns to claim the throne of Scotland in order to preserve the family fortune.
To prepare for San Diego Comic-Con 2017, Kevin Smith and Wil Wheaton discuss what it's like to watch "Stranger Things" and see the direct influences from 'Stand by Me.'

Trivia
For the spectacular (but brief) scenes depicting the 1745 rebellion, this film used stock footage from the disastrously unsuccessful David Niven film, Bonnie Prince Charlie (1948), released only a few years earlier. Niven can actually be seen for a moment in one shot, albeit with his back to the camera. See more »Goofs
As Arnaud's ship approaches land, the lookout shouts "Land on the starboard bow!" (i.e. to the right), yet he is pointing to the port side (i.e. to the left). A cut to the deck shows Capt. Arnaud training his telescope to port instead of starboard. See more »Quotes
Arnaud: [Hearing screaming on the deck] My quartermaster is amusing himself with the prisoners. He has a taste for it... We give every prisoner a choice. They may join us or not.See more »

"The Master of Ballantrae" is no "Adventures of Robin Hood," but it's entertaining and fast paced.
The color photography is lovely, and Errol Flynn is still charismatic even if he's a bit older and less agile.
Roger Livesey as Flynn's sidekick is the best part of the movie as far as I'm concerned, and most of the best lines were given to him. Check out the Memorable Quotes section to see what I mean.
Had the two of them been paired in a really good vehicle, I'm sure the results would have been awesome. As it is, it's still better than average and a pleasant way to pass a couple of hours.
