Allie is a brilliant inventor who is fed up with what he sees as the materialism and consumerism of the United States. He decides to take his family on a journey to the Mosquito Coast, a remote region of Central America, to start a new life.
Allie’s wife, Lilly (Helen Mirren), is initially hesitant about the move, but eventually agrees to go along with it. Allie’s son, Charlie (River Phoenix), is excited about the move and the adventure it promises.

Allie’s idealistic dreams for the family start to unravel as the realities of life in the Mosquito Coast start to take their toll. The family is also pursued by a group of American mercenaries who are looking for Allie and his inventions.
