Turistas – released as Paradise Lost in the United Kingdom and Ireland – is a 2006 American-Brazilian horror film produced and directed by , and starring Josh Duhamel, Melissa George, Olivia Wilde, Desmond Askew, Beau Garrett, Max Brown, Agles Steib, and Miguel Lunardi.
The plot focuses on a group of backpackers in Brazil who find themselves in the clutches of an underground organ harvesting ring. It was shot in the Chapada Diamantina, a region of Bahia state, and in the Litoral Norte, the easternmost coastal part of São Paulo.
Turistas was released on December 1, 2006 in the United States by Fox Atomic to generally negative reviews from critics. It was a box office bomb, grossing only $7 million in the United States.
Three young American tourists, Alex (Josh Duhamel), his sister Bea (Olivia Wilde), and a friend Amy (Beau Garrett), are backpacking in Brazil. They decide to go by bus and visit parts of the country instead of flying directly to the Northeastern beaches they wish to visit. After a bus crash leaves all the passengers stranded, they are joined by two English men, Finn (Desmond Askew) and Liam (Max Brown), and an Australian woman, Pru (Melissa George), who is fluent in Portuguese. The group find a cabana bar where several other tourists and locals are partying. After spending the day on the beach, they are served drugged drinks and pass out.
