A plane, carrying a group of young boys of between six and twelve years old, is shot down in a war and crashes on an unhabited tropical island somwhere in the Pacific Ozean.

Ralph , a strong boy, the son of a Naval Officer, is at first delighted in the freedom of the island and the fact, that there are no grown ups. Then he meets Piggy ,a short , fat, asthmatic boy, who is nearly blind without his glasses. Piggy is more realistic and intelligent, and tells Ralph, that they must try to find the other boys and organize something. They start to explore the island, and to search for the other boys. They find a conch shell and blow it. It makes a deeb, loud sound, and one after one the boys appear. At last a group in choirboysuniform marches up, with a leader named Jack. Then all choose Ralph as their leader even though Jack would be choosen. Jack and his choir are to be hunters. Then Ralph says, that they also must make a fire on the mountain, by using Piggys glasses, so that their is a signal, if a ship passed the island. Jack also has to look for the fire. At the and of their first meeting the also decide to build some huts. First their is civilisation, if blows the couch shell, they all have a meeting, they look for the fire build huts and eat the pigs, which Jack and his company killed. But after a wile no one is intrested in keeping the fire on, or building huts. They all do whatever they like to do, and noone looks for the fire. At this Day, a ship passes the island, but there is no fire on the mountain. Ralph is very angry, and asks Jack why he didn`t look for the fire. But Jack tells him, that he is only intersted in killing pigs, and that Ralph shall decide some othe rpeole to keep the fire. Nobody wants to. And then a little boy starts speaking, he tells all, that he has seen a beast, and that is very afraid of the beast, First all big boys fight about the existence of the beast, but they are all afraid of it. The reactions to the beast are different. Jack and the choirboys paint their faces to look like masks, and behind this masks, they hide that they are also afraid of the beast.. They also leave the group, and make up a stonewall in the mountains. And they love to kill pigs, because behind their masks, they can kill a pig without feeling of remorse. The other ones, Ralph, Piggy ,Simon.. make a fire again, and stay in the huts, they have built. No one of the Jack company visits Ralph and the others, and Ralph is also not interested in visiting Jack. They leave different. One Day, Simon says, that their is no beast, and that they are only afraid of themselve. Everybody laughs, but some feel, that it could be true. Simon wants to tell the truth of the beast to Jack, but it is a dark night, and Jack and his goup dance a wild dance, and they don`t really recognize, that it is Simon and stab him to death. Now some of Ralphs group are so afraid of Jack, that they wnt to belong to his group to be saved, and only Piggy stays with Ralph. They go to the stonecastle and want to talk to Jack, but Jacks group rolls down a stone and murders Piggy. And now only Ralph is left, and Jack and all the others are searching for him step for step on the island. They set fire to the island, where they think, that Ralph is. Ralph knows, that it would be his death to be found. But his brain hasn`t been used for a very long time, and so he doesn`t find a solution, and he can`t decide to hide in the trees or to run away or whatever. He doesn`t know what to do, and so he starts running for his live. But he is very tired and, they are very near. And at the very last moment, when all hope for him seems lost, Ralph reaches the beach and falls at the feet of a naval officer. He has seen the fire on the island, and has went to the island quickly. But not Quickly enough.
