Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Light at the Edge of the World is a 1971 film directed by Kevin Billington and starring Kirk Douglas, Yul Brynner and Samantha Eggar. It is based on the 1905 adventure novel The Lighthouse at the End of the World (Le Phare du bout du monde) by Jules Verne (written in 1901 but published a few months after Verne's death).In 1865, William "Will" Denton (Douglas) is a jaded American miner who seeks to escape a troubled past and becomes a lighthouse keeper on a rocky island in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, at the southern tip of South America. One day, a crew of pirates led by Captain Jonathan Kongre (Brynner) land on the island, murder everyone they can find and extinguish the light so they can mislead ships into the rocks and prey upon them. Denton manages to escape the massacre and goes on a guerilla against the pirates.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

"Die Hard" on an X: It predates the Trope Namer by a good 17 years, but still, it's pretty much "Die Hard on a Lighthouse Island in 1865".

Disney Villain Death: Kongre wants to kill Denton by setting the lighthouse on fire with oil lamps, but he only manages to surround himself with flames and falls to his death from the top of the lighthouse.

Faux Affably Evil: Kongre does his best to appear more civilized than his men in his manners, specially towards Arabella, but he's still cruel at the core.
