What happens

The Pirate Movie is a 1982 Australian musical romantic comedy film directed by Ken Annakin, and starring Christopher Atkins and Kristy McNichol. Loosely based on Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879 comic opera The Pirates of Penzance, the original music score is composed by Mike Brady and Peter Sullivan (no relation to Pirates of Penzance composer Arthur Sullivan). The film performed far below expectations on its initial release and received negative reviews from critics, but it has maintained higher ratings among audiences. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
