Deliverance

Four Atlanta businessmen embark on a boating trip through the wild, mountainous rivers of northern Georgia, seeking a break from urban life. Their adventure quickly turns into a harrowing struggle for survival as they face both the unforgiving forces of nature and violent encounters with the locals. What begins as a test of masculinity becomes a brutal journey that strips them to their core. Based on James Dickey’s best-selling novel (he also penned the screenplay), John Boorman’s Deliverance is a gripping masterpiece—visually striking, emotionally intense, and unflinching in its portrayal of violence and transformation. By the end, the men who return are unrecognizable from those who set out.
