Deliverance is a 1972 survival thriller film directed by John Boorman, and starring Jon Voight, the late Burt Reynolds, the late Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox, with the latter two making their feature film debuts.
Four city-dwelling friends (Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, Ronny Cox) decide to get away from their jobs, wives and kids for a week of canoeing in rural Georgia. When the men arrive, they are not welcomed by the backwoods locals, who stalk the vacationers and savagely attack them in the woods. Reeling from the ambush, the friends attempt to return home but are surrounded by dangerous rapids and pursued by a madman. Soon, their canoe trip turns into a fight for survival.
