A group of young vacationers uncover the dark side of paradise in Danny Boyle’s sleek adventure mystery, which doubles as a quintessential Y2K-era time capsule. Fresh from TITANIC, Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Richard, an American backpacker in Thailand searching for something genuine in an increasingly technology-addled world. When he hears about a legendary, presumably uninhabited island, it sounds like the perfect escape—but glittering waters conceal sinister undercurrents.
