The River

For rural Tennessee couple Tom (Mel Gibson) and Mae Garvey (Sissy Spacek), the struggle to hold onto their family's farm pits them against not just the forces of nature in the form of brutal floods, but government bureaucracy, the threat of bank foreclosure, and the hostility faced when Tom takes a scab job at a local steel mill. Mark Rydell's powerful drama also stars Scott Glenn, James Tolkan. 124 min.
