When two brothers find out they might lose their house they are desperate to find a way to keep their home. They find a treasure map and bring some friends along to find it. They are all out looking for the “X” and trying to get away from a group of bad guys who also want the treasure.

“Original and sometimes bizarre, this is a timely reminder of what “kids’ movies” can deliver in an era almost defined by superhero flicks and Disney franchise reboots.” — Kevin Maher, Times (UK)
