A raft floats through the vast ocean with only two shipwreck survivors on board: Captain Red, limping on his wooden leg, and his companion, Frog. Soon after, another ship appears on the horizon: the Spanish galleon Neptune. After boarding the ship, the two pirates learn about the golden throne of the Incan king. Red decides to get the treasure for himself. Roman Polański’s Pirates is a tribute to classic pirate films. (Camerimage)
