What happens
Hero's Island, also known as The Land We Love, is a 1962 American action film written and directed by Leslie Stevens. It stars James Mason, Neville Brand, Kate Manx, Rip Torn, Warren Oates and Brendan Dillon. It was released on September 16, 1962, by United Artists. The film, set in the early 18th century, is about a poor family homesteading on a remote Carolina island, leading to encounters with seagoing vagabonds, good and bad. The film's producers used California's Santa Catalina Island, which is hillier, rockier and more arid than South Carolina or any actual part of the coastal Carolinas. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
