Story
The story begins with a ship discovering an abandoned boat containing the bodies of Richard and Emmeline from the original 'Blue Lagoon' film, and their infant son Paddy, now renamed Richard by the crew. Sarah, a widow with her own infant daughter Lilli, takes pity on Richard (Paddy) and cares for him. However, when cholera breaks out on board, the captain sets them adrift in a lifeboat. Sarah, to protect the children, kills the accompanying crew member and navigates them back to the original island. There, she raises the children, teaching them survival skills and educating them as if they were in school. Years pass, and Sarah eventually dies from pneumonia. The two siblings continue to live on the island, growing into adulthood and forming a close bond. Eventually, another ship arrives offering to take them back to civilization, but after an argument with one of the crew members and the captain's daughter, Lilli finds herself pregnant. They decide to stay on the island, believing that their life there is preferable to what civilization has to offer.
Summary
Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991), directed by William A. Graham, is a sequel to the 1980 film 'The Blue Lagoon'. The story continues where the original left off, focusing on the fate of the infant son, Paddy, now renamed Richard. The movie follows two main narrative threads: Sarah's efforts to raise and educate the children on the island after they are stranded there again, and the eventual reemergence of civilization in the form of another ship arriving at their shores.
