Description of this Deliverance Movie Poster
Deliverance is a 1972 American adventure film directed by John Boorman. Four metropolitan cities, played by Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox, take a canoe trip across a river landscape, which will soon be sacrificed for the construction of a dam. Their encounter with two locals results in an act of violence, which is quickly followed by others.
The film is based on the first novel, River Drive, by American author James Dickey, published in 1970. He also wrote the screenplay and played the sheriff of Aintry in a supporting role.
Ed Gentry, Lewis Medlock, Bobby Trippe, and Drew Ballinger, traveling from Atlanta, undertake a canoe tour of the fictional, remote, and wild Cahulawassee River in the US state of Georgia in the Appalachian Mountains. The valley will soon be flooded by the construction of a dam.
From the beginning of their journey, it is clear that they are strangers in a strange world. The locals behave with neither interest nor disdain toward them. While searching for drivers to take their cars to their destination, Drew connects with a disabled boy by challenging him to play the guitar, after which the boy responds on his banjo, which ultimately leads to a musical duel against each other. When Drew wants to congratulate the boy on the victory afterward, he refuses to shake his hand.
After a hostile conversation with an aggressive hillbillie, Ed feels unwell and suggests returning to the city, which Lewis refuses. The four men are divided into two canoes, and leader Lewis, who also has a hunting bow, quickly takes command of the tour, leading to tensions within the group. On the second day, Bobby and Ed disembark early, encountering two armed rednecks. Ed is tied to a tree, and Bobby is raped. Before Ed can also be sexually abused, the incoming Lewis kills one of the assailants with an arrow. The other can flee into the wild.
Lewis, Ed, and Bobby, against Drew’s resistance, decide to bury the dead and not report the incident to the local authorities. Lewis does not expect a fair verdict from a local jury, and Bobby does not want his rape to become known. The men continue their journey through the rapids. At a dangerous moment, Drew suddenly falls into the water, one of the canoes is destroyed, and Lewis breaks his thigh. Lewis, Ed, and Bobby are able to escape to the shore. Lewis claims to have heard a gunshot and is convinced that Drew has been shot. The men suspect that the attacker is the refugee Hillbill, who is now keeping them at bay from above, on the edge of the gorge. At his comrades’ request, Ed, armed with Lewis’s bow, climbs the rocks and kills the gunman the next morning with an arrow.
Ed pushes the dead men into the river, weighted down with rocks, and then the three continue their journey in the remaining canoe. Shortly after, they come across Drew’s body. They cannot determine if he died from a gunshot wound, as Lewis claims. They don’t even know if the shooter killed by Ed was the second, a previously escaped violent offender, or just a random hunter. Drew’s body also sinks into the river, and they decide to tell the authorities that Drew fell from the canoe and disappeared in the floods.
Eventually, they reach their destination, Aintry, and Lewis is hospitalized. Ed and Bobby tell the sheriff the agreed-upon story of their tour without mentioning the two strange men. Although the sheriff doesn’t believe them—among other things, a local hunter, a brother-in-law of the deputy sheriff, is missing, and part of the wrecked boat is found further upstream from the location described—he lets them go due to lack of evidence. To say goodbye, he advises them never to do this again and not to show themselves in the area. Ed witnesses the townspeople exhuming their dead to bury them in another cemetery. The men part ways. After returning to his family, Ed has a nightmare in which he sees a dead man’s hand sticking out of the river. The film ends with a view of the river, indicated by the movements of the waves.
