"Epic doesn't even begin to describe this swashbuckling tale of the high seas that blends the gritty adventure of MASTER AND COMMANDER with the romance, action, and intensity of THE MASK OF ZORRO. This historical tale of the Tierra Firme fleet, helmed by Captain Don Antonio de Echeverz, makes for a grand cinematic narrative." — WeScreenplay Judge 1
In order to save his father's life, a nobleman's son confronts pirates, cannibals & an angry king after a hurricane devastates their fleet carrying $400 million in Spanish treasure. "[THE TREASURE GALLEONS] is a well-written script that manages to be both action-packed and emotionally poignant. This has all the swashbuckling action of a PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN outing with the substance of a story that is more historically accurate." — Table Read My Screenplay Judge
"THE TREASURE GALLEONS perfectly embodies the essence of 'real-life' adventure, with a grand sweeping epic that calls to mind historical dramas like PILLARS OF THE EARTH. The lush backdrop lures you into a world of passion, [a] stark but romantic atmosphere and political intrigue." — WeScreenplay Judge 2
