This emotionally-charged film celebrates the triumph of a young rural couple as they face nature's greatest ravages, the threat of poverty and a wrenching separation. Sissy Spacek, MeI Gibson and Scott GIenn star in this moving tribute to love, faith, determination and the vanishing America of the independent farm family.
Tom and Mae Garvey (Gibson and Spacek) are struggling to keep theur homestead safe from the Iocal power authority who wants to fIood their land. When Mae's former beau, John Wade (Glenn), turns out to be in charge of the pIan to acquire the property, tensions run high, climaxing in a devastating confrontation on the fIooded river banks.
Directed by On GoIden Pond's Mark Rydell, The River features magnificent location photography by ViImos Zsigmond and an outstanding score by John Williams.
"A great film, fuII of passion and decency..." --Rex Reed, The New York Post |
