JOURNEY 2: The Mysterious Island 3D continues its screenings across Cornwall this week.

Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) has sprouted into a truculent 17-year-old with scant respect for authority; not the local police nor his muscle-bound stepfather, Hank (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson).

Following a brush with the law, Sean hides away in his room where he hopes to break a coded distress signal emanating from the South Pacific. Navy vet Hank breaks the cipher, which confirms the existence of the mysterious island from Jules Verne's 1874 book. Hank accompanies Sean to New Guinea, where they charter a helicopter belonging to wise-cracking pilot Gabato (Luis Guzman) and his sassy daughter, Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens). The motley crew fly into the eye of a hurricane and are spewed on to sandy shores where Sean's gung-ho grandfather Alexander (Michael Caine) guides the newcomers through jungles teeming with danger, while an imminent volcanic eruption threatens to plunge the landmass into the churning waters.
