Based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary follows itinerant journalist Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) on an alcohol-fuelled journey across the pristine island of Puerto Rico. Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault (Amber Heard) the wildly attractive fiancee of Sanderson an American involved in shady development deals. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart) to write favourably about his latest unsavoury scheme the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessmans financial benefit or use them to take him down. (20th Century Fox AU)
