Synopsis
"Shipwrecked" (Håkon Håkonsen, 1990) is a Norwegian family adventure you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Nils Gaup — whose debut "Veiviseren" earned Norway an Oscar nomination in 1988. Teenage cabin boy Håkon (Stian Smestad) signs onto a merchant vessel and senses early that something aboard is very wrong.
He's right. Lieutenant Merrick (Gabriel Byrne) is a pirate in disguise who seizes the ship in a violent mutiny. A storm separates Håkon from the crew and strands him on a deserted island — the exact spot where Merrick's gang stores its plunder. Another encounter is coming.
Byrne plays the villain straight: no camp, no smirking. Merrick is a real threat, and the film earns its resolution honestly. Good family adventure that holds up. Stream "Shipwrecked" (1990) online on iFILM.
