MOVIE: THE THREE ??? – ISLAND OF THE DEAD

The summer holidays have begun, and The Three ??? want to go on a road trip. But just as Justus Jonas (JULIUS WECKAUF), Peter Shaw (NEVIO WENDT), and Bob Andrews (LEVI BRANDL) are about to set off, the phone rings at headquarters, and an unknown caller hands the detective trio their latest case. Naturally, the vacation plans are quickly forgotten. The three boys follow the clues and stumble upon the secret society Sphinx, led by the mysterious archaeology professor Phoenix (ANDREAS PIETSCHMANN) and his assistant Olin (JANNIK SCHÜMANN). Sphinx conducts illegal excavations and sells the stolen treasures. Soon, they embark on an expedition to the active volcanic island of Makatao, also known as the Island of the Dead. The resting place of an ancient people located there is said to be cursed: No one who enters Makatao returns alive. Why is Sphinx embarking on such a daring journey? And what does the successful entrepreneur Joseph Saito Hadden (SIMON KLUTH) have to do with the expedition? Like the second part of the film series, THE THREE ??? AND THE CARPATHIAN DOG, THE THREE ??? – ISLAND OF THE DEAD also connects to the events of the previous films and presents one of the most successful classic episodes from the popular books and audio dramas surrounding the three young detectives in a modern and new light.
