''Beyond the Reach'' is a 2014 American adventure thriller film directed by Jean-Baptiste Léonetti and written by Stephen Susco. It is based on the 1972 novel ''Deathwatch'' by Robb White. The film, starring Michael Douglas, Jeremy Irvine, and Ronny Cox, was released on April 17, 2015, by Roadside Attractions. ==Plot== Businessman and game hunter John Madec hires a young but experienced hunting guide Ben out to a field trip beyond the reaches of the Mojave Desert to hunt game. When Madec accidentally shoots an old prospector, Ben insists that they must report it as an accident. Madec, on the other hand, puts another bullet from Ben's gun into the corpse, and after explaining how he can now blackmail Ben with the new evidence, offers Ben a deal: Madec will put him through college and give him a $300k/year job in return for his complicity in covering up the crime. But when Ben picks up his emergency transponder, Madec destroys it and berates Ben for breaking the deal. Madec then threatens Ben with his high-powered rifle, and orders him to strip all of his gear including his clothes, then leaves him in the desert to die of dehydration and exposure. Madec plans to report that Ben went mad, shot the prospector, and wandered off into the barren horizon alone. Madec is certain Ben cannot survive, as they are in a hot desert 45 miles from the nearest town, but just to make sure, he watches Ben from a distance, using the scope on his rifle. Ben finds enough water to survive until Madec shoots the barrel containing it. Ben finds a lair to hide in, but Madec blows it up with dynamite, although Ben manages to escape before it explodes. By sunset, Ben finds a wrist-brace slingshot and some marbles that had belonged to the prospector. He practices using the weapon, then uses it to overcome and defeat the corrupt Madec. Back in town, Madec escapes from police custody. Sometime later, Ben is with his girlfriend and promises not to leave her side again. Madec sneaks into their house at night with a shotgun and confronts Ben. Ben's girlfriend shoots Madec using a gun Ben gave her at the beginning of the film. Ben picks up the weapon, shoots Madec, and then aims at him, preparing to fire a second time since the first two did not succeed, intending to finish him as the screen fades to black and the credits roll. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beyond the Reach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
