I agree with the one reviewer about the "kids". They were tolerable during the planning and execution of the caper, but the entire story devolves into "kids" vs "The Man", especially in the form of Steve McGarrett, or is it Jack Lord.
Perhaps you could excuse it as being part of the times, but even then the story was artificial and forced.
Since the last act was so vapid, I am not even sure what point the writers were trying to make. There were so many more positive things they could have done to end this story, such as requesting a ransom from the government, and then using the money to help someone/some group.
Instead we get a rich kid's pity party.
A few stars for the audacity of the caper, but that is the only good part of this story.
