El mapa será el responsable de una emocionante expedición a una isla desconocida en busca del mítico tesoro del capitán Flint. Pero la aventura será también una especie de «viaje de iniciación» para Jim, que de huérfano desvalido pasará a convertirse en adulto, obligado a tomar decisiones por la fuerza de la adversidad y el deseo del triunfo.
