Synopsis

Adventure is afoot in the small coastal town of Emerald Cove. Dave Shipper (John Weisbarth) is all set to enjoy a quiet summer, but the arrival of his cousin Jon (Frank Jimison) throws a wrench in his plans. Rather by chance, they happen upon an old map that sets them on a quest, along with Dave's friend Freddy (Freddy Rible), to seek out a legendary treasure said to be buried deep inside the ocean cliffs. With the help of an old local fisherman ("Smokey" Tom Hodgins), the boys compile clues that unravel a 30-year-old murder mystery and lead them closer to their prize. They quickly draw the attention of a bumbling crew of malicious treasure-hunters and a mysterious pickaxe-wielding "digger", all intent on capturing the gold for themselves.

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Hubear8932 Intense action scenes...enticing wardrobe...quixotic narrations... What more can you say about this delectable movie? Three teeny boppers find an abandoned boatyard in Emerald Cove.If you thought that the Goonies was the signature movie for the 90's, you haven't been on the tumultuous ride that Treasure takes you on. Treasure has you biting your nails and cracking your knuckles at the same time. It keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what these crazy kids are going to do next.The film quality is impeccable. The sound quality is even more delicious. The adventure these kids take you on leaves you spun out at the end, wanting more. The villains are truly frightful, and the reality of using real overweight actors shows the heart of America, the overweight fast-food society of our generation.Treasure is the signature movie for the adventures children of the 90's. If you have any culture in film-making or even film watching, Treasure is truly a family hit you don't want to miss. Two thumbs very up.Sequel anyone?
AnneofGreenGables83 Every time I went to my grandparents to spend the night, we would go to the video store and rent this. It was a tradition that I miss now as an adult. The last time I saw it was when I was in Jr. High, I think, and I was spending the night with my cousins (one is 6 years younger than me, and the other is 7 years younger). We rented this and another film, and the one cousin was like, "lets not rent Treasure, it looks dumb!" The next morning, when my aunt asked her son if he had fun, he was like, "I liked the movie Mindy rented (Treasure) better than the one Katie rented (Monkey Trouble)" This movie rocks, and even kids today can enjoy it! I think it was amusing that it took several times viewing it to realize that the one guys name was Dub, not Tub! I think I would have preferred Tub. It was so much fun to call him that. I'd recommend this movie to any kid looking for an adventure story.
vidtek I had the interesting experience of working on this film as an assistant editor with Robert Paul. I had not been a part of principal photography, or even the initial rough cut. When it came to me, we worked on it steadily for 15-20 hour days for three straight weeks. I appreciate aspects of the film given its lack of budget, but there were far too many sequences where there was just not enough film footage to make much sense. It's kind of like the idea of the current Disney film 'Holes'. The Treasure is pock-marked with many craters.. It was a neat experience seeing it on the silver screen. Yes, it's not very good as a finished film, but it was a fun experience, and young kids (very young...) seem to enjoy some of the antics.
Joe-540 I saw this Movie Back in 1994 When the movie had already been forgotten and passed on. I wasn't expecting much on that hot July day but I popped it in my VCR and let the good times roll. Watching this movie today reminds me of the simpler times of Kool-aid,Waterhoses,and City boys with rubber chickens.
