Adventure about an idealist who uproots his family to a remote Caribbean island, away from the consumerism which he perceives to be choking America. He sets about creating a Utopia in the jungle by bringing ice to the natives and uses his genius for making gadgets to enhance their primitive lifestyle. But he also alienates his long-suffering family, and his enterprise proves fatally flawed. Based on the novel by Paul Theroux.
