VideoDisc A John Boorman Film Deliverance " Haunting film with brilliant acting " -Rex Reed RCA VIDEODISC CED :: Capacitance Electronic Disc System 1 Hour and 49 Minutes / color Rated R © 1972 Warner Bros., Inc. Manufactured & Distributed © 1983 RCA Corporation Starring: Jon Voight Burt Reynolds " Like all great adventures, Deliverance (expertly directed by John Boorman) begins simply enough. Four businessmen from the city decide to spend a weekend canoeing on a wild, uncharted river. Within moments, however, it becomes apparent that this is an adventure of a special kind: a trip back into a violent, more primitive world; a fatal expedition into the dark side of nature and the human soul. Burt Reynolds as the brawny, swaggering, crossbow-toting athlete, sets the tone early in the film when he declares his three companions, "The ability to survive, that's the game." But the game soon turns deadly as they face the challenge of the river, and an even more terrible danger that lurks within the overgrown forest. Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight, gives a fine, seasoned performance as a soft-spoken city boy suddenly forced to play the game of survival - for life and death stakes, Voight's ordeal, and ultimate deliverance, bring into sharp focus author James Dickey's ideas about manhood, courage, and the price a civilized man must pay to survive. Beautifully shot and directed, skillfully written and performed, Deliverance is a gripping blend of action, mystery and horror that is destined to endure as one of the best adventure films of all time.
