A piece of a foreign spy satellite crashes on the island. The Professor uses it for a barometer and forecasts a tsunami. They tie the huts together and ride the wave into the ocean. Gilligan goes swimming with the sharks and accidentally sets the hut on fire. The fire actually attracts the coast guard and the castaways are finally rescued. They try to adjust to their new lives apart in the new world after 15 years on the island. Spies Dimitri and Ivan try to retrieve the satellite piece from around Gilligan's neck.
I wasn't around for the original TV show and never really saw it even in reruns. Although I have seen some clips of the show and I get the general fun chemistry. Tina Louise is once again not in this to play Ginger. Judith Baldwin doesn't have quite the same breathiness. The other casts return and are somewhat faded by the years. The island still has some fun but once the group splits up, the movie loses any last bit of joy. It is fun to see the triumphant return and maybe the movie should work to end the movie at that high point.
