Samenvatting
In een goedkoop hotelletje in Bangkok maakt de Amerikaanse rugzaktoerist Richard kennis met Daffy, een dertiger die getekend is door jarenlang druggebruik. Hij beweert dat hij het paradijs op aarde heeft ontdekt. Het is het perfecte strand, ingesloten door steile kliffen en onbereikbaar voor de gewone toeristen. Het is voor hen zelfs verboden terrein. Richard is meteen geïntrigeerd. Hij heeft immers de VS verlaten voor een zoektocht naar de ultieme schoonheid, spanning én gevaar. Diezelfde nacht pleegt Daffy zelfmoord. Als afscheidsgeschenk laat hij Richard een kaart na met de beschrijving naar "The Beach". Samen met het Franse koppel Françoise en Etienne gaat Richard het ultieme avontuur aan. Tijdens hun tocht moeten ze alle drie hun grenzen verleggen en het grote gevaar trotseren.Credits
