The River Wild
1994 · TMDB 6.5
Directed by Curtis Hanson
Gail and Tom Hartman are struggling to stay together and decide to take a white-water rafting holiday adventure in Montana for their son Roarke's 10th birthday, only to meet up with a pair of mysterious men whose desperation grows, turning their vacation into a nightmare.
Why it matters
Meryl Streep plays a white-water rafting guide who must use every skill she has to outwit two fugitives on a family trip. A thriller that turns the rapids into a character in their own right.
