Retired Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale spends his days puttering around the Caribbean in the old PT-73 selling homebrew, ice cream, and swimsuit calendars. He's brought out of retirement when his old nemesis turned the second best terrorist in the world, Major Vladikov, takes over the island of San Moreno and starts building a nuclear launch silo on it. With help from his old crew and hindrances from Captain Wallace B. Binghampton, who sank a cruise liner a while back, McHale tries to put Vladikov out of business.

**Is it right for your kids?** A rating tells you what a board thought. It does not tell you whether your eight year old will be bored, or whether there is one scene you will be explaining in the car afterward.

We are building the answer families actually want: the honest take from households you know, matched to the ages of the children in your house. [Sign in to get started](/login).
