Genre: Drama
Director: Tom Gries
Cast: Charlton Heston, Geraldine Chaplin, John Phillip Law, Tina Chen, Mako, Alec McCowen, Keye Luke, James Gregory, Lyle Bettger, James Hong
This disappointing sequel to "Hawaii" is also based on James Michener's novel, but it pales in comparison to the entertaining original film. This film's story picks up where the original left off and continues into contemporary times. 1 User Review
