Based on the infamous 1941 true story, Whisky Galore! is a charming and heart-warming tale of a close-knit Scottish island community who mischievously relieve a sinking cargo ship of cases of whisky during wartime scarcity. The ensuing merriment is threatened when Excise Men try to spoil the party by catching the crafty locals, red handed, with the bottled loot. After enduring a dry period, the shipwreck and its amber cargo was like manna from heaven to the islanders, to whom whisky was part of the very life blood of their Island!
