Beyond the Reach is a suspense film directed by Jean-Baptiste Léonetti. Based on the novel Deathwatch by Robb White, the film is being produced by Michael Douglas’ company Further Films. Douglas also stars in the film with Jeremy Irvine. Beyond the Reach premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year.

Ben is a young tracker living in the southwest with his girlfriend Laina. When she leaves for college on a scholarship, Ben makes the difficult choice to remain behind, a decision that he will come to regret. Madec is a rich, powerful international businessman, who is hunting for a bighorn to add to his trophy collection. He hires Ben as his guide through the Reach, a vast and hostile desert basin. The hunt goes tragically wrong as Madec, too eager for a kill, pulls the trigger quickly, and accidentally kills an old prospector. Attempting to cover up his crime, Madec tries to bribe Ben to dispose of the body and forget the incident, but Ben staunchly refuses to play along. Now, Madec must eliminate his only witness.

Douglas has a few projects coming up this year. He will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe this summer as Hank Pym in Ant Man, and is set to portray U.S. President Ronald Reagan in Baltasar Kormákur’s upcoming Reykjavik.

Beyond the Reach is rated PG.
