A River With No Return
I really enjoyed this movies!! It was a exciting - thrill ride adventure with a twist.
It had great actors; including Robert Urich and Joel Higgins ; akka Ricky Schroders dad on the 80's TV Series Silver Spoons.
The movie had great scenery including rapid waters of the fraser river and back woods of the Oregon coast.
This was a great Television made movie which should come out on DVD.
