Details

Adventure is afoot in the small coastal town of Emerald Cove. Dave Shipper (John Weisbarth) is all set to enjoy a quiet summer, but the arrival of his cousin Jon (Frank Jimison) throws a wrench in his plans. Rather by chance, they happen upon an old map that sets them on a quest, along with Dave's friend Freddy (Freddy Rible), to seek out a legendary treasure said to be buried deep inside the ocean cliffs. With the help of an old local fisherman ("Smokey" Tom Hodgins), the boys compile clues that unravel a 30-year-old murder mystery and lead them closer to their prize. They quickly draw the attention of a bumbling crew of malicious treasure-hunters and a mysterious pickaxe-wielding "digger", all intent on capturing the gold for themselves.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
sandlot1992 In the Tradition of the classic 80s films including the Goonies and Stand by Me, comes one certain film for kids and adults would definitely enjoy since it's not on DVD that they both remembered watching back in the nineties when they rented movies long before Netflix came around.the plot and story is very impressive, the cast is still good but some of the actors have been forgotten since who knows when, neat narration told by the lead character "David Shipper" and of course the music score is really nice.the Story is very that simple, we're the protagonist David notice his cousin Jonathan is coming over for the summer during the 100th Anniversary of the Emerald Cove's establishment and they decide to have a camp out at the beach along with his friend Freddy who can be a goof ball most of the time, until they found a piece of a paper which happens to be a map and even read about the lighthouse murder that began 30 years ago.around that time, Cap happens have lost his mind after he can't remembers his own name and start to think of the girl named "Sally Mae" and some bad guys who are more like the Fratellis and a little bit redneck (since this movie is filmed in California) who somehow in search of the treasure itself since Mr. Haley happens to be the lighthouse murderer and wore that uniform and pick-ax all along that look it came out of a murder mystery novel.on and all, this is a unique family film ever to come out in the late 80s and early 90s since I've seen this many times at my local Blockbuster Video store in the early 2000s before DVDs became popular, if you love some films ever to come in the eighties like the Goonies, Explorers, Stand by Me, the Monster Squad as well as the Indiana Jones films In which they are kinda rated PG and it's third film "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" is given a PG-13 rating then this is worth seeing when you come across it on YouTube since there are a few other movies that never did get a DVD Release to this day including the Prehysteria Trilogy, Trading Mom and even The Gate II: Trespassers.
Hubear8932 Intense action scenes...enticing wardrobe...quixotic narrations... What more can you say about this delectable movie? Three teeny boppers find an abandoned boatyard in Emerald Cove.If you thought that the Goonies was the signature movie for the 90's, you haven't been on the tumultuous ride that Treasure takes you on. Treasure has you biting your nails and cracking your knuckles at the same time. It keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what these crazy kids are going to do next.The film quality is impeccable. The sound quality is even more delicious. The adventure these kids take you on leaves you spun out at the end, wanting more. The villains are truly frightful, and the reality of using real overweight actors shows the heart of America, the overweight fast-food society of our generation.Treasure is the signature movie for the adventures children of the 90's. If you have any culture in film-making or even film watching, Treasure is truly a family hit you don't want to miss. Two thumbs very up.Sequel anyone?
Joe-540 I saw this Movie Back in 1994 When the movie had already been forgotten and passed on. I wasn't expecting much on that hot July day but I popped it in my VCR and let the good times roll. Watching this movie today reminds me of the simpler times of Kool-aid,Waterhoses,and City boys with rubber chickens.
makeupguy A film so ridiculously deritive that you know what's going to happen as the opening credits come up. A film so bad that you don't care. The three kids mysteriously grow 4-5 inches in some scenes, obviously shot months later in order to help out the plot or because the filmmakers ran out of money and couldn't shoot the film all at once.The deus-ex-machina ending is acted so badly that all actors and crew should hang their head in shame.
