Provocative reinterpretation of the classic story by Daniel Defoe, focusing this time not on the shipwrecked mariner (Peter O'Toole), but on his native servant, dubbed 'Friday' (Richard Roundtree). As Crusoe tries to teach his native charge the benefits of civilisation, Friday gradually begins to hate and resent him, until the tension builds to a shocking climax.
