Captain Ron

Captain Ron (1992) is an American adventure comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Tom Eberhardt. Martin Harvey, played by Martin Short, inherits a vintage yacht sitting in the Caribbean and figures a family sailing trip is just the thing. Then he meets Captain Ron — one-eyed, sun-baked, and played with loose-limbed charm by Kurt Russell — and the quiet vacation disappears fast.

The boat is barely seaworthy. Ron's navigation instincts lean toward improvisation, the kids think this is the best holiday of their lives, and Martin's wife, played by Mary Kay Place, is running out of patience somewhere around the third unplanned detour. Pirates show up. So do local guerrillas. The itinerary does not survive contact with reality.

Russell looks genuinely happy in the role — it's a rare chance to see him play a lovable disaster rather than a competent hero, and that energy carries the whole film. Light, breezy, and good-natured. Stream Captain Ron (1992) online on iFILM.
