Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.   For Bobby Darin (Kevin Spacey), performing was his life. It kept his heart beating. He came alive onstage, even when he was near collapse offstage. In 'Beyond The Sea', Bobby tells his own story. At age seven, Bobby gets rheumatic fever that damages his heart forever. The doctor tells his mother Polly (Brenda Blethyn) he'll be lucky to live to the age of fifteen. Polly and Bobby's older sister Nina (Caroline Aaron) take care of him, along with Nina's husband Charlie (Bob Hoskins). Modern medicine and determination keep him alive, his heart's still ticking, and by 20, with the help of his best friend turned manager Steve Blauner (John Goodman) and musical director Dick Behrke (Peter Cincotti) he's working his way up, from tacky clubs to performing in Vegas, finally scoring a hit with 'Splish Splash'. But Bobby wants more. As he tells Life Magazine, he wants to be a legend by 25. 'Mack The Knife' makes him the star he's dreamed of becoming but for him this is only the beginning.

Musical drama based on the life and career of Bobby Darin. After a string of hits as a rock & roll singer, Bobby Darin (Kevin Spacey) takes a gamble, and with the help of manager Steve Blauner (John Goodman) he reinvents himself as a supper-club vocalist in the manner of Frank Sinatra. After topping the charts with his swinging version of 'Mack the Knife' he sets his sights on acting and on the set of his first movie, he meets Sandra Dee (Kate Bosworth), who he eventually weds. But after a string of successful movies for Dee and hit records and an Oscar nomination for Darin, the shifting tastes of the 1960s throw their careers off-track.
