Plot
Robin Monroe (Anne Heche), a New York journalist working for Dazzle, a fashion magazine, is invited by her boyfriend Frank (David Schwimmer) to spend a one-week holiday with him on the island paradise of Makatea in the South Pacific. The final leg of their journey, the couple fly to Makatea in a small dilapidated aircraft (DHC-2 Beaver) piloted by middle-aged American Quinn Harris (Ford) and accompanied by his girlfriend, Angelica (Obradors).
Frank has told Robin that they are doing this because he "wants to increase the romance in our relationship."
Alas, romance is postponed as Robin, a workaholic, is called away to Tahiti to supervise a fashion event. She hires Quinn to fly her there, but an unexpected thunderstorm forces him to crash-land them on a deserted island.
Fighting for survival on the island, Quinn and Robin inadvertently become witnesses to modern-day piracy.
The vast majority of the film deals with the adventures (often comic in nature) of Quinn and Robin as they try to evade the pirates and survive in the island's jungle wilderness. In the process, Quinn and Robin fall in love, despite their initial dislike towards one another.
Meanwhile, Angelica and Frank are forging their own relationship.
After a narrow escape, Quinn and Robin eventually succeed in getting their plane airworthy again and they fly back to Makatea, where decisions await them.
