Survival Island (2005) – Passion, Power, and Peril in Paradise
Genre: Drama, Thriller, Romance
Director: Stewart Raffill
Starring: Billy Zane, Kelly Brook, Juan Pablo Di Pace
Survival Island, also known as Three, is a sensual thriller set against the backdrop of a remote tropical island where survival instincts collide with raw emotion. The story follows Jack (Billy Zane), his wife Jennifer (Kelly Brook), and a crew member, Manuel (Juan Pablo Di Pace), who find themselves stranded after a yacht explosion.
As days turn into weeks, the dynamics between the trio begin to shift. Stripped of wealth, status, and social rules, Jack and Manuel find themselves competing—not just for control, but for Jennifer’s attention. Jealousy, desire, and resentment bubble to the surface, transforming the island into a stage for psychological and emotional warfare.
While the film received mixed-to-negative reviews for its over-the-top drama and melodramatic tone, it’s often remembered for its steamy tension and the real-life relationship between stars Zane and Brook during production. Visually striking and provocative, Survival Island blends romance and suspense in a story about trust, betrayal, and the darker sides of human nature when civilization fades away.
