The Mosquito Coast (Amazon Rental)
The 1986 drama The Mosquito Coast follows the idealistic Allie Fox (Harrison Ford) as he uproots his family and sets out for a Caribbean Island where he plans to create a utopia free of the consumerism and pitfalls of modern life in America. His plan, however, is inherently flawed and puts his life, as well as his family, in grave danger.
Why it’s worth checking out if you like Jungle Cruise: The Mosquito Coast isn’t as cheery or upbeat as Jungle Cruise but it does touch on some of the same themes, topics, and locales. Both movies center on characters obsessed with achieving their goal, no matter what they stand to lose in the process while also featuring people from completely different walks of life (and civilizations) meeting for the first time.
