This movie really is a thriller. It’s not Oscar material and is probably not entirely realistic but the performances really sell the whole thing. There are no weak links here-even the kid and the dog are good!

One of my all time favourite films. Love Kevin bacon in this.

For some reason his movie popped into my mind, out of nowhere. I was watching the first two Jurassic Park films, so perhaps it's a 90's nostalgia. Come to find, the child actor in "The River Wild" is the same as Jurassic Park 1. Good movie that needs to be revisited.

Great movie. I found it randomly on Netflix and gave it a shot. I was not disappointed.

Underrated gem.

One really good movie. Adventure, wild river, tension. I totally recommend.

"The River Wild"(1994) is an excellent action thriller movie!

What I do see is a mother n father trying to survive for there family In that moment literally there own lives. This is a classic for me

I’ve made a resolution this year to watch all of Meryl’s movies. Can’t wait.

Saw this movie for the first time last night. I couldn't believe that I had missed out on such a great movie! :)

They just did a remake on Netflix too

Remember watching this when I was a little kid

I like to go camping on boats, so everyone who's into sports vacation should see this, the movie is amazing, great shooting.

Went and saw this movie at the theater in 1994 when I was 19 late one night this movie brings back such pleasant feelings because it was during the time I had left home and was out on my own and thought I was in heaven,this movie was shot around Montana and Idaho such beautiful breath taking scenery Meryl Streep played a great mom in this Kevin bacon is one of the most multi talented actors I've ever seen

That moment when Meryl says to Kevin Bacon with incredible strength and sarcam - "What now, *Wade*?" Freaking fierce.

This film is one of the best American films of the 1990s. They were shooting excellent films. The story is told through a strong woman and her family which is on the verge of divorce. Overcoming the series of obstades they became close. On the background there are some beautiful pictures of nature and dangerous rafting on the wild river. The great cameramen's job. The plot develops in a clever way with new twists. The acting is brilliant. I was impressed by Mary Streep and wanted to see all her films. The music was selected very successfully. I found this film very exiting, so I was glued to the screen. It's definitely worth watching.

JUST FINISHED WATCHING THIS! I LOVE WHEN KEVIN BACON PLAYS A VILLAIN! FOOTLOOSE FOREVER!

One of my first movies I watched !!!

my favorite Kevin Bacon movie as a kid

This was the first movie I ever saw on a date. Heavy nostalgia.

I think we should get an Extended Version because some of the scenes we saw in the trailer we didn't see in the movie and it would be really cool to add the missing parts into the movie is well because that would lead up to an Extended Version

Still thought about this movie in 2022* lol love it* the river or Mystic River*

I watched this last night on Netflix because I heard it had young Joe Mazzello in it who I adore and 10 seconds in I was like "hUH that sure looks a lot like.. SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA THAT'S MERYL STREEP" Joe AND Meryl!? A blessing :') - I'm sure nobody cared to know that but I thought I'd share anyways.

Excellent movie

How trailers should be! It hinted at the fact that it was more than just river rafting, that there is a bad guy and the threat of violence WITHOUT giving it all away!

If no one has seen it, it’s on Netflix right now. Showed my wife this film for the first time last night. Just found out there’s a remake, may watch it just to see how that one plays out. I highly recommend the original.

This is a horror movie lol. A good cast and story. I actually wish they woulda kept the scene of Wade chasing the mom and the kid.

Re watched better than I remember it being.

Meryl Streep was great in this movie. Kevin Bacon also made a great villain. That said, there are SEVERAL scenes in this trailer that are not in the film. Like Bacon pushing his accomplice off the cliff or Meryl and her son running through the woods.

Loved this film since I was a kid and had never seen this trailer before. Was keeping my eyes peeled for some deleted footage and am I right in thinking running through the forest isn’t in the finished film?

Has Miss Streep ever made a action movie other than River Wild?? Love her doing action scenes..

I drive by the Charles river in Boston often. I see people rowing and think of the opening scene.

This trailer doesn’t do justice to this really good movie.

Awesome movie!

Hi I’m very confused I looked on Wikipedia and it said that the Hartman’s were rafting on the salmon river in Idaho. But other sources like goggle say Montana. Question are they supposed to be in Montana and Idaho. Because on the logo of the plane in the movie it said big sky so I’m guessing it’s Montana but I’m not sure could someone clarify that detail for me thanks

Kevin Bacon

Filmmakers of today could learn a thing or two from this film. Crashing down the rapids with not one hint of handheld camerawork. Nowadays we have handheld camera shots during simple conversations on steady ground. Bring back the tripods!

Playing six degrees of Kevin Bacon lead me here

Panoramik sürükleyici bir film güzel.

The 2023 version is pretty good also. I haven't seen this one yet but I'm about to.

In a way this was meryl streeps best acting performance

This movie is like Speed but on a raft or Air Force one but on a raft

Movie turns 25 today! I remember watching it on tv as a kid Felt rewarding knowing the bad guy drowned cause he did point out earlier he couldn’t swim

Just saw this movie tonight. And I have a question, why the bad guys not walking instead of taking hostages, killing people and risking their lives on the wild river ? While the daddy could walk through it and hours earlier to reach that point ~ even have time to set up that trap? !

@wolfysays6311

Good question! I guess the bag was too heavy (dad has literally nothing). They also didn't want their tracks found by hounddogs. And their first guide told them it's easy. ;)

Not that this movie was any great influence on my guiding career, I had my home River, the Mckenzie and my grandfather to thank for that, but watching this as a kid didn't help. Chase Adventure Outfitters was the end result.

I love trailers that don’t give a lot away but this one missed the mark it didn’t convey the intensity and the story even subtly, great flick though

Funny how first time watching, worried about streeps safety. Watched yesterday and wanted bacon to eliminate meryl.

When her son asked y isn't dad fishing with us Its cuz he's literally working n on a vacation trying to be in two places @ once . As a couple they have issues or Maybe I'm bias cuz my father didn't do either.
