''Flipper'' is a 1996 adventure film remake of the 1963 film of the same name, starring Paul Hogan and Elijah Wood. The movie is about a boy who has to spend the summer with his uncle, who lives on the Gold Coast. Although he expects to have another boring summer, he encounters a dolphin whom he names Flipper and with whom he forms a friendship. ==Plot== Sandy Ricks is sent off for the summer to stay with his Uncle Porter in the seaside town of Coral Key. Initially, Sandy is unenthusiastic, and is upset that he's going to miss a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert which he already bought tickets for. While out on Porter's fishing trawler, the two meet Porter's arch enemy, Dirk Moran. Nearby, a pod of dolphins is frolicking near Dirk's boat. As a big game fisherman, Dirk hates just about every other fish eating animal on earth. Later that evening, Sandy heads to the docks so that he can catch the ferry back to the mainland so he can see the concert. The next day, Porter and Sandy are paid a visit by the sheriff Buck, who explains that they can't keep the dolphin unless he is in captivity. That night, Sandy and Kim set out on a dinghy to look for Flipper. They failed to locate the dolphin, but see men dumping barrels off of Dirk Moran's boat. The next morning, Kim arrives looking for Sandy when Pete, Porter's pet brown pelican, comes running up to her, almost as if asking her to follow him. Pete leads Kim to Flipper who is beached on the shore and sick. Cathy determines that Flipper was poisoned by toxic waste, which has been ruining the local fishing. The group tries to use Flipper's gift of echolocation and a special camera attached to his head to help them find the toxic waste. Their plan works, and are successfully able to locate barrels of the toxic waste. However, Flipper also manages to locate the rest of his pod, and drops the camera and reunites with them. Porter heads back to alert the sheriff. Sandy, however becomes concerned that something has happened to Flipper, and without telling anyone except for Marvin, sets off on the dinghy in order to find him. Sandy barely survives an encounter with Dirk's boat which dismantles the dinghy. He sees a dorsal fin and thinks it is Flipper. It is actually Scar, the Hammerhead shark. Sandy swims for his life, but Scar is faster. As Scar is about to attack Sandy, Flipper appears and starts nose butting Scar in the gills, but the shark is stronger than Flipper. Scar is eventually driven off when Flipper's dolphin pod comes to his aid. Dirk Moran is arrested by Buck the sheriff for illegally dumping toxic waste The next day, Sandy's mom and sister arrive to pick Sandy up.Sandy decides to check out the commotion. It is Flipper, who has come to see Sandy off. The camera then slowly zooms out and the screen then fades to black. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flipper (1996 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
