The Castaways on Gilligan's Island

Résumé
The Castaways on Gilligan's Island is a 1979 made-for-television comedy film that continues the adventures of the shipwrecked castaways from the 1964–1967 sitcom Gilligan's Island and the first reunion movie, Rescue from Gilligan's Island, featuring the original cast from the television series with the exception of Tina Louise, who was replaced in the role of Ginger Grant by Judith Baldwin. Written by Al Schwartz, Elroy Schwartz and series creator Sherwood Schwartz and directed by Earl Bellamy, it was first broadcast on NBC May 3, 1979. Unlike the independently-produced Rescue from Gilligan's Island, this and the subsequent The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island were produced by MCA/Universal Television. The movie picks up twelve days after the end of Rescue from Gilligan's Island. The castaways are once again stranded on the same island they were previously on. They are desperately searching for fresh water, as the tsunami that originally propelled them off the island has caused sulfur to contaminate the island's subterranean springs. To make matters worse, a radio broadcast said efforts to locate the Minnow II have been terminated. Gilligan stumbles upon two previously undiscovered WWII airplanes. It is learned that the island was a base of operations for the Army Air Corps during World War II, and the abandoned hangar was obscured by jungle brush, which the tsunami removed. The Professor believes he can combine the two planes into one and fly them back to civilization. He cobbles together an airworthy plane and, dubbing it Minnow III, the castaways take off. During the attempt to fly to Hawaii, the plane has engine trouble. The Professor orders Gilligan to jettison some weight, causing him to fall out and parachute down to the island. The castaways opt to return for Gilligan, although the Professor warns it will be impossible to take off again. Immediately after landing, the engine falls off, and the Skipper surmises they would have crashed had they not terminated the flight. Gilligan inadvertently has saved the castaways.
