Publisher's Synopsis
'Romancing the Stone' style madcap adventure. Ben 'Finn' Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) is a down-on-his-luck fortune hunter in search of $500 million worth of diamonds, rubies and emeralds, contained in 40 chests lost at sea in 1715. His long-suffering wife, Tess (Kate Hudson), in search of a more relaxed lifestyle, has, in the meantime, deserted him to take a job on the yacht of multi-millionaire Nigel Honeycut (Donald Sutherland), only to find that Finn is muscling in, trying to convince Nigel to back his plan. Now with serious backing, Tess is forced to go along with Finn's escapade, hotly pursued by a couple of local gangsters eager to relieve them of their booty.
