Full Plot Details

The Cahulawassee River valley in Northern Georgia is one of the last natural pristine areas of the state, which will soon change with the imminent building of a dam on the river, which in turn will flood much of the surrounding land. As such, four Atlanta city dwellers, alpha male Lewis Medlock, Ed Gentry, Bobby Trippe, and Drew Ballinger, decide to take a multi-day canoe trip on the river, with only Lewis and Ed having experience in outdoor life. They know going in that the area is isolated. Their relatively peaceful trip takes a turn for the worse halfway through with river rapids and unwelcoming locals. The four need to battle their way out of the valley and are asked to do things they never thought possible within themselves.

Movie Reviews

Montreal Film Journal - 10/10 by Kevin N. LaforestA chilling, assured film about how modern man has grown so far from nature that he's unsuited to its rigors.
Film Freak Central - 10/10 by Walter ChawAs coffin nails for the sixties go, this negation of all ideological idealism is a pretty final one.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Jeremiah KippDickey taps into that stark mortal terror of abandoning control, where to become a wild man is somehow a form of connection.
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonThis powerful adaptation of James Dickey's best-selling novel finds director John Boorman establishing a sense of menace almost from the start, and the "squeal like a pig" sequence continues to haunt viewers even decades after the fact.
Cinemaphile.org - 10/10 by David KeyesBoorman's film still speaks to us in profound ways, as if to indicate hidden wisdom has long rested in frames glossed up by a once-shocking philosophy.
Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Brian CostelloClassic '70s adventure has brutal, disturbing violence.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Brian MckayThe classic "stalked by rednecks" scenario. Taut and unnerving. Ned Beatty will never live down squeal like a piggy!
Groucho Reviews - 10/10 by Peter CanaveseBoorman's interpretation of the material resulted in an American cinematic classic built not only on shock and awe, but emotional subtlety. [Blu-ray]
Empire - 10/10 by Mark DinningThe gorgeous backdrop of the film makes the violence and darkness even more disturbing - but this is more than just a horror film. There's real substance in themes, performances and John Boorman's superb direction.
Apollo Guide - 10/10 by Brian WebsterA harrowing film that can be appreciated on several levels.
