The Real Macaw

When hard times fall upon gentle bird owner Ben Girdis (Jason Robards), his 149-year-old macaw, Mac, leads Girdis’s teenage grandson, Sam (Jamie Croft), on a quest to a South Pacific island to track down treasure buried by the parrot’s previous owner, a buccaneer. As medical bills are forcing Ben out of his home, Mac and Sam track down the spoils — but a greedy archaeologist who has learned about the plan awaits to steal the riches for himself.
