Without a Paddle is a 2004 comedy film about three reunited childhood friends going on a trip up a remote river in order to search for the loot of a long-lost airplane hijacker. The film stars Matthew Lillard, Seth Green and Dax Shepard. A direct-to-video spinoff, Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling, was released in January 2009. Ten years after graduating from high school, three friends, Jerry , Dan and Tom learn that their childhood friend, Billy , died in a para-sailing accident in Costa Rica. After the funeral and burial, they take a trip down memory lane and enter their tree house,... where the four hung out as children. They also remember their past with their posters and collectibles. Under Billy's bed, Jerry discovers a treasure chest containing a map leading to D. B. Cooper's lost treasure. The map is apparently the culmination of Billy's life-long investigations. Dan takes a break from his job as a doctor and is forced to join Jerry and Tom on a camping trip to find the treasure. They take a canoe down the river and find Grandpa's Nose , and they stay on the riverside for the night.
