The Mosquito Coast

“He never bargained for what he found.”

Allie Fox (Harrison Ford) packs up his wife and four children and leaves the United States, fed up with the city and certain he can build a better life in the jungles of Central America. Peter Weir films the family's trip south in Belize's heat and glare, with Charlie (River Phoenix) watching his father's confidence harden into stubbornness. Mother Fox (Helen Mirren) and the children have given up everything to follow him, and there is nowhere left to go back to.
