Deliverance

In the heart of American wilderness, four urbanites - Ed (Jon Voight), Lewis (Burt Reynolds), Bobby (Ned Beatty), and Drew (Ronny Cox) - embark on a canoeing adventure in Deliverance. This 1972 thriller, directed by John Boorman, takes them downriver into the uncharted backwoods of Georgia. The men's weekend escape swiftly descends into a survivalist nightmare, their camaraderie tested by nature's fury and human savagery. Nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Picture, Deliverance is a cinematic exploration of man versus wild, where civilization's veneer peels away to reveal primal instincts beneath.
