Michael Douglas on the Desert Miseries of 'Beyond the Reach'

In Beyond the Reach, Michael Douglas plays a ruthless corporate exec who will stop at nothing to save his own skin — including hunting down a young guide (War Horse's Jeremy Irvine) who knows too much in the middle of the desert.

If the parched trailer didn't have your reaching for some water and sunscreen, this exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the movie's Blu-ray will. In it, two-time Oscar winner Douglas praises Irvine for his commitment to the misery his role required, including walking barefoot in the sweltering desert heat among other extreme feats. "I don't know many actors who could have put up with all the duress that he had to," Douglas says.

Beyond the Reach is available now on Blu-ray and DVD.
