Synopsis:
Allie Fox is fed up with an America that "buys junk, sells junk, eats 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 up on Witness, Harrison Ford and director Peter Weir reunite for this adventure about utopia gone haywire. A movie icon for 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 Plimpton and the late River Phoenix co-star.

Pipe dreams - The Mosquito Coast review by CH

Spoiler Alert
08/11/2022

There was a touch of Klaus Kinski and Fitzcarraldo in this film (which I think was made before Harrison Ford starred in Mosquito coast) Trying to build the impossible in the inhospitable was the theme of both films with Harrison Ford’s descent into (and almost matching Kinski’s) terrifying psychotic paranoia in the jungle
