Tagline: In the era of cool, he was the soundtrack.

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, in his last great performance.

Making music is more to me than a pleasure, ’cause me and music we go together like notes in a measure. As long as I’m singing, then the world’s all right and everything’s swingin’ long as I’m singing my song. -- “As Long As I’m Singing,” Bobby Darin

From the age of seven, Walden Robert Cassotto -- Little Bobby (William Ullrich) -- knows the odds are stacked against him. Rheumatic fever has permanently damaged his heart, and he’s not expected to make it to age fifteen. Bobby’s family -- his mother Polly (Brenda Blethyn), his older sister NINA (Caroline Aaron) and Nina’s husband Charlie (Bob Hoskins) -- pour all their energies into caring for him.

Bobby’s frail heart may be one truth, but Polly, a former singer, introduces her boy to another wonderful truth: music. Music becomes Bobby’s bargaining chip against time; he’s not only singing, but also playing piano, drums and guitar before he even hits his teens.
