It's been 20 years since Leonardo DiCaprio went searching for a secret tropical paradise in "The Beach."

In the film, DiCaprio, now 45, plays Richard, a young man visiting Thailand on the lookout for an adventure. Richard's pal Daffy dies and leaves behind a map to a secret island community that he previously lived in.

Richard convinces his two new friends, Françoise and Étienne, to join him on a journey to the island. However, things do not go as planned for the trio.
