The Mosquito CoastIcon_movClass_PG

1986, 114 minutes, Rated PG

Allie Fox is fed up with an American that 'buys junk, sells junk, eat junk." So with a mocking "Goodbye, America! Have a nice day," the brilliant inventor (nine patents, six pending) leads his trusting wife and four children into the remote jungles of Central America to carve out a new society.

After teaming on 'Witness', Harrison Ford and director Peter Weir (The Truman Show) reunite for this adventure about utopia gone haywire. A movie icon from 'Star Wars' Han Solo and 'Indiana Jones', Ford here explores the dark side of heroism - and creates a spellbinding character from the pages of Paul Theroux's bestseller: Helen Mirren, Martha Plimton and the late River Phoenix co-star.
