Gail, an expert at white water rafting, takes her family on a trip down the river to their
family's house. Along the way, the family encounters two men who are unexperienced rafters
that need to find their friends down river. Later, the family finds out that the pair of men
are armed robbers. The men then physically force the family to take them down the river to
meet their accomplices. The rafting trip for the family is definitely ruined, but most
importantly, their lives are at stake. |

Meryl Streep, More Magazine, December 2002
"I love the outdoors. I'm not an adrenalin junkie. I just wanted to see what it felt like.
And it was kind of a midlife crisis."
An exhausted Meryl Streep balked when director Curtis Hanson asked her to shoot one more scene before filming finished for the end of the day, however, she decided to attempt it. Swept off the raft, she was in real danger of drowning before she was rescued. Returning upriver, she told a pale and shaking Hanson that "in the future, when I say I can't do something, I think we should believe me." Hanson hastily agreed.
