In this wacky comedy directed by Harold Ramis, retired firefighter Jack Moniker (Robin Williams) moves to a small Caribbean island where he becomes proprietor of a ramshackle resort. He and his business partner (Jimmy Cliff) do their best to cater to the whims of their quirky, low-rent guests, but all is not well in paradise. Greedy developers have set their sights on the property, and a political revolution threatens the island idyll.
