Treasure Planet recap
Jim Hawkins is a teenager on the planet Montressor who helps his mother run the Benbow Inn. A dying alien pirate, Billy Bones, gives him a sphere and warns him about "the cyborg". Pirates burn down the inn, and the sphere turns out to be a map to Treasure Planet, where the legendary pirate Captain Flint hid his treasure. Jim and the astronomer Dr. Doppler hire the ship RLS Legacy, commanded by Captain Amelia. Jim works in the galley under the cook John Silver, a cyborg, who becomes a father figure to him. Jim overhears Silver planning a mutiny. The crew rises up, and Jim escapes with the map, Doppler and the wounded Amelia, and lands on Treasure Planet. There they meet B.E.N., a robot left behind by Flint who has lost his memory.
