The viewer is left to formulate their own conclusions. There is no clarification of where the gold is from, why was their mate washed up in a crevice with the gold. In this movie adaptation there are periods of vagueness of the story and this is one of them.
The gold bars bring two more men to the island (Soren Malling and Olafur Darri Olafsson), who are seeking the man who had been killed. This is unknown to the three light house caretakers at the time. It comes to light that the man was protecting this small chest that stored gold bars. The young man (Connor Swindells) is forced to kill the man or be killed. However, once down the man springs to life and there is a huge struggle between the two men. When the young man (Connor Swindells) is lowered to validate the man has died. After a storm, Donald makes a discovery down a deep crevice a dead man and his remnants of a small rowboat. However, "The Vanishing" seems to be falling between the stools of thriller and drama the tale grows steadily but really never reaches a credible outcome even with the powerful actors such as Gerard Butler and Peter Mullan. There have been theories over the years that the men were killed by pirates, eaten by animals and maybe kidnapped by aliens.
To date there has been no conclusion to what had happened to these men, James Ducat, Thomas Marshall and Donald MacArthur. There are also more recent artistic representations in various media, from a novel, an opera, and a video game. This story became inspiring a famous poem by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, his epic, Flannan Isle. Also known as "The Flannan Isle Mystery," where in December 1900 investigators find that the Scotland west coast lighthouse abandoned by the three men employed there.
The Saban Films release "The Vanishing," with Gerard Butler, Peter Mullan, Connor Swindells, Soren Malling, Olafur Darri Olafsson and Gary Lewis.
