Water

Comedy Adventure

1985, Movie, 1h 38min

A typically sharp comic performance from Michael Caine is at the center of this nutty satire of Britain’s colonial exploits (partially inspired by the then-recent invasion of the Falkland Islands). On the fictional West Indies island of Cascara, a relaxed British colony, easygoing governor Baxter Thwaites (Caine) enjoys a laid-back lifestyle—until the discovery of an untapped reserve of valuable mineral water suddenly makes the island a hot commodity and throws the community into chaos. Look out for producer George Harrison and his friends Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton in a musical cameo as the members of the Singing Rebel’s Band.
