The plot revolves around Angus MacMorrow (Alex Etel), a boy who lives with his mother and sister in a mansion on the shores of Loch Ness. One day while looking for shells in the tidepools, he discovers what appears to be a large egg in the sand. He takes it home and puts it into his father's shed, but when he comes back to check on it later, he finds that it hatched a mysterious creature that he decides to call "Crusoe" after Robinson Crusoe. Thus begins an adventure in secrecy and discovery that entangles itself in the age old mystery of the Loch Ness Monster.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film also stars Emily Watson as Anne MacMorrow, Ben Chaplin as Lewis Mowbray, David Morrissey as Captain Thomas Hamilton, and Brian Cox as the older Angus MacMorrow.

comment
Adaptation Deviation: The plot of the film tells an entirely original story compared to the book, which takes place in 1933 as opposed to World War II.

All Animals Are Domesticated: Averted. Crusoe seems to have a real bond with Angus, but is still quite untamed, and the climax heavily implies that he eats Churchill the bulldog.

Armies Are Evil: Subverted; Captain Hamilton and his troops are portrayed as gung-ho, suspicious, and uncompromising, yet are still sympathetic.

...And That Little Boy Was Me: The story of the old man to the tourists ends with shaking hands and telling them his name: Angus MacMorrow.
