Deliverance

British director John Boorman made of one of his best films with this adventure thriller. Four urban men set out to river-rafting trip in an abandoned region that ends in terror and murder. Based on his novel, James Dickey wrote the screenplay and appears in the film about the rape of nature through man literally and figuratively. The four men represent four archetypes of an urban man. Boorman made one of the essential and groundbreaking films of the 70's that stars Jon Voight that made Burt Reynolds a star and started the careers of Ned Beatty and others.
