The Great Escapists

Stranded on a deserted island after a shipwreck, Hammond and Belleci, two of the biggest names in popular science television, must use their engineering and scientific skills to survive and construct a paradise island playground. With only the materials from their shipwreck and their bare hands, they face a series of challenges that test their ingenuity, resourcefulness, and friendship. But as tensions rise and their efforts to escape are thwarted, they find themselves at war with each other, repurposing their machinery into weapons and destroying their beach house. Will they be able to reconcile and find a way off the island before it's too late?
