Gail - Meryl Streep - is a history teacher in Boston. But, she was once a very skilled white water rafting guide. Today, she is married to Tom, an architect. Lately, Tom has been immersed in his work, neglecting his family. There's preteen son Roarke and little gal Willa. Now on summer vacation, Gail, Tom and Roarke are going on a river trip to Idaho. Unhappily, Tom backs out, for his job. Gail takes Roarke anyway, explaining they will go a fair distance in semi dangerous water but will not enter The Gauntlet, where river guides never go. As they begin, 2 men are making the same journey, Terry and Wade. They seem friendly. Surprisingly, Tom joins his family, making Gail happy. But, Terry and Wade are revealed as wanted men. Moreover, they kidnap the family and insist Gail take them thru the Gauntlet. Will anyone live? This thriller on whitewater rapids is well conceived, with breathtaking stunts and scenes. Then, too, the cast of Streep, Kevin Bacon, David Straitharn and Joseph Mazzello is terrific. Director Curtis Hansen has fashioned a fine flick so make time for a showing.
