The TVI Take
John Boorman's 1972 Georgia-river canoe trip film anchored by Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox. The structural commitment to letting the four-suburban-businessmen-vs-Appalachian-violence premise be rendered with documentary-grade specificity — and the canonical 'Dueling Banjos' opening sequence — is the canonical 1970s American-cinema cultural-collision entry.
