About this product

Product Information

In THE RIVER WILD, Gail (Meryl Streep), a former river guide, plans a white-water rafting trip to celebrate her son Roarke's (Joseph Mazzello) birthday and patch up her troubled marriage to her workaholic husband, Tom (David Strathairn). As the family begins their river adventure, they meet Wade (Kevin Bacon), a novice rafter with a magnetic personality. When the family finds Wade and his friend, Terry (John C. Reilly), stranded and abandoned by their guide, Gail and Tom decide to help them navigate the rapids. However, family fun turns to terror when Wade and Terry show their true colors--they're really criminals trying to evade the police following a major heist. To make matters worse, their escape route requires that they run the Gauntlet, deadly rapids where three rivers converge in violently tumultuous waters. This taut thriller from director Curtis Hanson (BAD INFLUENCE, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL) features Streep in her first role as an action-adventure heroine, while Bacon is truly menacing as the psychotic Wade, a desperate criminal in over his head.

Good escape movie.
A great movie for anyone who likes action, especially when it involves white water rafting. Meryl Streep carries this movie, and no one can play the bad guy quite as well as Kevin Bacon. Awesome scenery.

EXCITING!
They will keep you on the edge of your chair when they are going down some of those rapid paths. Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon play great parts in the movie. Definitely recommend this one!

Meryl Streep, Benjamin Bratt, David Straithorn, AND Kevin Bacon play off each other SUPERBLY in this tight, gasp4breath adventure. Gorgeously filmed! You won't breath out until the end!

Starts slow, but picks up speed very rapidly
Characters were all well played. It started out slow, but like the river the intensity picked up.
