Beach, The

USA 1999 Color

Summary:
     DiCaprio will play Richard, a sardonic young traveler
     who comes upon a map of a secret island paradise during
     a layover in Bangkok. He and a young couple make their
     way to the island, off the coast of Thailand, where they
     find a small community of youths living off the land and
     sea, answerable only to nature -- and to themselves. The
     story is about how various pressures, external and
     internal, gradually bring about the disintegration of their
     utopia.
