What begins as a pleasure cruise turns out to be a treasure hunt for two couples, sight-impaired Helen Barton and her husband, Morely, who is a former naval officer, and Jeff and Alexa Schubb.
A million dollars supposedly is buried on a small isle between Florida and Cuba, so the four of them decide to go after it. Their lives become in danger from natives and pirates, as well as from the greed that overwhelms their group.
The film received mixed reviews.[2] Of the film the Los Angeles Times noted, "There's something about its willingness to shove the subject past reasonable bounds—right into the blackest depths of character degeneration and emotional hysteria—that almost commands respect."[3]
Midnight Crossing was not a success. The producers owed money to cinema companies because of the film's commercial failure.[4]
