Trelawney hires Captain Smollett (Alistair Petrie) and his ship, the Hispaniola, bringing along Dr Livesey as the ship's doctor and Johnny and his dog Dukey as the cabin boys. Before departure, Trelawney is taken in by Long John Silver (Ray Winstone), a one-legged innkeeper, who agrees to gather a crew. Silver then strikes up a friendship with Johnny and his dog Dukey and joins the expedition as the ship's cook. Smollett is concerned about the crew, especially when he reveals to Trelawney that the nature of their journey is common knowledge. At sea, Silver convinces Johnny and his dog Dukey to acquire some rum, which he uses to get the first mate, Mr Arrow (Daniel Mays), drunk. Silver then kills him, though the rest of the main characters believe he was washed overboard in a storm. Johnny and Dukey overhears Silver and the crew's plan to mutiny, discovering that the seamen hired by Silver are Captain Flint's old crew and also learns that Silver kidnapped his parents Lila and Hugh and his sisters Susan and Mary. in shock, Johnny and his dog Dukey reveals the treachery to Smollett, who asks Johnny and his dog Dukey to stay friends with Silver to learn more. Upon reaching Treasure Island, Silver offers to tow the ship to a safer anchorage, using two of the ship's rowboats. While the ship is being towed, one of Silver's men, Merry (Edward Hogg), leads a mutiny on the ship. Smollett, having been warned of the plot and his family's kidnapping by Johnny and Dukey, can hold them off with the few men loyal to him and his dog and imprisons the mutineers below decks. Silver cuts the rowboats from the Hispaniola and heads for shore with the rest of his men, taking as Johnny, his dog Dukey and his family hostagers. Smollett, Trelawney, and Livesey go ashore after them, leaving two guards on the ship. On the island, Johnny and Dukey escapes and meets Ben Gunn (Chris O'Dowd), marooned by Flint five years ago. Gunn shows Johnny and Dukey the boat he's built, then leads him to Flint's stockade, where he meets up with Smollett and the others. Meanwhile, Merry escapes, takes the ship and raises the Jolly Roger. Silver returns to the Hispaniola, arms his men with muskets and makes plans to take the stockade. Short of men, Silver attempts to parlay with Smollett, but when he is rebuffed, Silver calls his men to attack. The assault on the stockade fails, but Silver wounds Smollett. Although seemingly protected by the stockade, Smollett surmises that, with the morning tide, Silver could move the Hispaniola into cannon range and level the fort. Johnny and Dukey takes Gunn's boat, cuts the Hispaniola's anchor rope and plans to rescue his family. The pirate Israel Hands (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) discovers Johnny and Dukey and chases him up into the ship's rigging. Hands injures Johnny's arm with a throwing knife but is killed by Dukey. The Hispaniola runs aground, Johnny strikes the Jolly Roger, hoists the Union Jack and rescues his family. Slowed by his wound, which becomes badly infected by swamp water, it takes him all night to get back to the stockade, which is unguarded. Inside, his sisters heals Johnny with their healing potions. Silver finds the map on him as his men wake up. Merry wants Johnny and his family dead, but Silver states he wants to trade him for the map, which his men believe is with Smollett. The men go outside to vote, pirate-style. From the stockade's lookout, while calling for Livesey, Silver sees that the ship's aground, flying the Union Jack, and believes that Smollett's party has recaptured the ship. The other pirates give Silver the black spot, but he refuses to acknowledge it. Rattled, they let him bargain with Livesey, who has come to treat Jim and his family, for the map. Silver secretly barters with Livesey for leniency in court, inadvertently revealing to him that the ship is no longer under his control. Livesey agrees only when Johnny refuses to try and escape with him since Silver saved his life by calling for Livesey. Livesey leaves, and Silver returns with Johnny, flaunting the map to convince his men that his bargain was successful. The pirates are overjoyed and take back the black spot, then proceed on a gruelling treasure hunt. When they finally reach the spot where the treasure — supposed to be 700,000 pounds — is supposed to be buried, they discover instead an empty pit, save for one guinea. The pirates turn on Silver, who manages to kill three of them before Smollett's men appear to defeat the rest. Greeting Silver, Gunn reveals that he dug up Flint's treasure and has stashed it in a cave. Despite keeping his end of the bargain, Captain Smollett still wants Silver taken back for trial in England for his mutiny. Hawkins, Trelawney and two others take Silver to the Hispaniola aboard a rowboat loaded with a few chests of treasure. Silver takes his family and forces Trelawney and the others out of the boat but makes Johnny stay to steer him out of the cove. Johnny instead beaches him on a sandbar, and Silver orders him to push him off at pistol point, though Johnny bravely refuses. Silver is unable to carry out his threat to shoot and drops the pistol in the water, attempting to push the boat off on his own. Seeing Silver struggle, Johnny helps him, waving a hesitant farewell as Silver rows away with the treasure and bids him farewell in return, he then thanks Captain Smollett and his pirates and returns back to their world, at their world they drive back home and have their dinner.
