A plane crash leaves a group of British schoolboys stranded on a deserted island. Ralph is elected chief, attempting to establish order with the help of the intelligent Piggy, while Jack leads a choir-turned-hunting party, gradually succumbing to savagery. Efforts to maintain a signal fire and build shelters clash with Jack's increasing obsession with hunting and power. Fear of an imagined "beast" grips the younger boys, which Jack exploits. As Jack's tribe embraces primitive instincts and violence, culminating in the brutal deaths of Simon and Piggy, Ralph is relentlessly hunted. The boys' descent into barbarism tragically ends with their rescue by a naval officer, who ironically arrives from a world engaged in its own war.
