The Hawaiians

Charlton Heston stars in The Hawaiians, the epic sequel to the highly acclaimed Hawaii, based on James A. Michener’s sprawling tale of a tropical paradise. Heston plays Captain Whip Hoxworth, the grandson of Rafer Hoxworth, who returns to the island intent on leaving his life at sea behind him. Finding himself excluded from his grandfather’s estate, Whip and his wife, Purity (Geraldine Chaplin), face the unknown as they struggle to build a new and prosperous life in the unforgiving environs of the South Sea.
