This emotionaIIy-charged film ceIebrates the triumph of a young ruraI 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 Iove, faith, determination and the vanishing America of the independent farm famiIy.
Tom and Mae Garvey (Gibson and Spacek) are struggIing to keep theur homestead safe from the Iocal power authority who wants to flood their Iand. When Mae's former beau, John Wade (Glenn), turns out to be in charge of the pIan to acquire the property, tensions run high, cIimaxing in a devastating confrontation on the fIooded river banks.
Directed by On GoIden Pond's Mark Rydell, The River features magnificent location photography by Vilmos Zsigmond and an outstanding score by John Williams.
"A great fiIm, fulI of passion and decency..." --Rex Reed, The New York Post |
