Return to Paradise Movie
Three American college grads, John Volgecherev (Vince Vaughn), Tony Croft (David Conrad), and Lewis McBride (Joaquin Phoenix), meet by chance and decide to spend their vacation together in Penang, Malaysia. The exotic island, hot women, drinks and drugs - life in paradise! When the exciting vacation is over, John and Tony come back home to the United States, but Lewis goes to Borneo so as to dedicate himself to the study of tropical fauna. But some time later Lewis ends up arrested by local police who found a large quantity of hashish in the bungalow the buddies had rented. According to the Law of Malaysia, an over-limit amount of drug is classified as distribution; therefore Lewis is threatened with the death penalty. If John and Tony return and share the blame, the death sentence will be reduced to jail time.
