Nim's Island is a 2008 American film directed by Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin. The film stars Abigail Breslin, Jodie Foster, and Gerard Butler. The story is a adventure-fantasy film based on the book Nim's Island by Wendy Orr, a Canadian-born Australian writer. A young girl, Nim, seeks help from the author of her favourite adventure series when her scientist father goes missing. Nim, though, lives on an island in the South Pacific. The author, Alexandra Rover, is an agoraphobic living in San Francisco. Rover overcomes her fears and sets out in search of Nim while Nim tries to overcome her fear of losing her father. In the meantime, a cruise ship company threatens to invade Nim's island with uncouth tourists. The film was released on April 4, 2008.

Nim (Breslin) is a young girl who lives on an island in the South Pacific with only her father and some local animals for company: Selkie the Sea lion, Fred the Bearded dragon, Chica the Turtle, and Galileio the Pelican. When Nim's father (played by Butler) goes missing at sea, Nim teams up with Alexandra Rover (Foster), the author of the Alex Rover adventure books, to save her father and protect the island from Buccaneers, or so she believes. Ms. Rover, whom Nim believes to be the fictional explorer Rover himself, proves to be a neurotic San Franciscan who is prodded into helping by the mental image of her fictional hero (also played by Butler).
