In this film adaptation of Agatha Christie's best selling novel, eight strangers are invited to a desolate island of the south west coast of England. When they gather for dinner expecting to meet their host it becomes evident that they have been summoned to atone for their past sins. As the story unfolds they are each murdered as the 'Ten Little Indians' met their end in the children's nursery rhyme. There is no one else on the island so the killer must be one of the guests or servants. A fascinating murder mystery with a nice touch of dark humour.
