Based on Paul Theroux's best-selling novel, The Mosquito Coast is the adventure story of how a family's quest for paradise becomes a terrifying fight for survival. Allie Fox (Harrison Ford) is possessed by a singular dream: to escape with his family to a pure, untainted world, a jungle utopia far from the corrupting influences of the modern world. A fiercely independent man, Allie is fed up with the America of fast food, television, pollution, phony evangelicism and crime. Packing up his wife, two sons and twin daughters, he boards a freighter bound for the Mosquito Coast. But he finds he can’t escape his personality and the inclinations that he bears with him into the jungle. Directed by Peter Weir, The Mosquito Coast was produced by Academy Award-winner Jerome Hellman (Midnight Cowboy). Saul Zaentz was executive producer.
