Sinopse

Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson follows the ordeal of seventeen-year-old David Balfour after his uncle betrays him and leaves him kidnapped and compelled into colonial servitude. The situation grows even more perilous when a shipwreck separates and then reopens David’s fate, bringing him into contact again with Alan Breck Stewart, a fugitive Jacobite. Together, the two form an unlikely partnership and flee across the dangerous Scottish Highlands. Their escape unfolds amid the tensions of 18th-century Scotland, where real historical turmoil and a notorious murder create fresh threats that force them to stay alert as they travel.
