Treasure Island is a 1999 American experimental independent film directed by Scott King.[2] Described as a psychosexual black comedy,[3][4] the story is about two war strategists on San Francisco’s Treasure Island naval base during World War II. It is inspired from an actual account of a counterintelligence ploy by two British officers.[5][1] The film is shot in 16 mm and is in black and white.[5]
