James Dickey's first novel Deliverance is about a canoe trip in rual northern Georgia, on the Cahulawassee River.

Deliverance the film was made with the same title in 1972, Starring; Jon Voight as Ed Gentry, Burt Reynolds as Lewis Medlock, Ned Beatty as Bobby Trippe, and Ronny Cox as Drew Ballinger.

The river is about to be dammed and, soon, the entire valley will be a lake. Four friends from suburbia Atlanta, through the hills they go, encountering primitive people and hazardous nature, fighting to survive and return to civilization.

An exciting adventure, two cultures in conflict: city fellas against country folk. Deep in the woods, remote, uncivilized, primal. The journey from innocence to experience.

This is a great movie from the 1970's. The story is takes places in the southern mountains. Four would be friends’ canoe down a river that soon will be a lake. The four find nature and danger along the way. There is graphic language and explicit male on male scenes of violence. This movie is not for small children. For the 1970's this was a traffic action picture with a very attractive Burt Reynolds (pre Loni days).

I bought this movie because this movie is a classic in my generation. I had seen it several times, but my boyfriend had not, but knew the "Dueling Banjo" song,and even the "Squeal lke a little pig part".- We never got passed that scene.I warned him that is whas a VERY disturbing movie, but they have never prevented us from seeing them before.
This movie really is DISTURBING; One scene after another. There are points where I found myself saying, "What could possibly go wrong now?" And yet they did.
It starts out as 4 "average Joes", just going on a male-bonding weekend trip to go rafting on a river that was going to be built over shortly. It turns into the worst mistake of their lives.
This film has exceptional acting in it. Burt Reynolds was quite the looker in his day. Watching the bonus feature, I learned NO ONE would insure this movie because it was so dangerous to film, but the director was dedicated.
This movie is not for those that are faint of heart, or who have serious sensitivity to sexual violations of any kind or gore. Though this is not a "gory" movie such as the movies we have out now, (ie. "Hostile", all of "The Saws", "The Hills Have Eyes"). It shows exactly the right amount just to make you cringe for a moment.
The most craziest thing about this move, is that it was shot in a real, VERY rural, obviously inbred town. The people who live in this town are terrifying on their own! Most of these people are NOT actors!! SCARY!
I am a female age 25, and as I've said, seen it many times, maybe it's just one of those things where you like the feeling of tourchering yourself just to be scared? Any time I do watch it, I am on the seat of my couch, sometimes I even catch myself holding my breath even though I already know whats next!
If you are in between age 20-30, man-up and see if you can take it. It is always something to talk about, if nothing else.
Deliverance is a truely amazing story of the human will to live and persevere.
Not to mention the things we are capable of doing if our lives are at steak.

Classic movie full of action and suspense. Great outdoor footage. This movie made banjoes synonymous with inbred hillbillies. Nothing ruins a canoe trip more than sexual deviants in the woods. It's the city slickers vs. the backwoods boys in the wild.

This is truely a classic! No movie collection is complete without Deliverance! Is there a person out there that didn't like this movie? I can't wait until they make a remake of it.

I bought this DVD because so many people I work with told me I needed to see it. Did I like the plot = no, especially where the men were treated like animals. But I am glad I got to see it, now I understand parts they were tellling me about.

This is one of our all time favorite movies...One of those movies that makes you realize that any day, any time, you can be just going along having a good time with friends and, all of a sudden, something can happen which really makes you stop dead in your tracks and re-evaluate life and taking things for granted. Keeps you on the edge of your seat!!!

I bought this movie because I could not find anywere. It has action and it has some comedy in it.I thought it was a movie to have. I was told to look for it on ebay so I did and found it.

Gives you the creeps type Burt Reynolds classic movie of the early 1970's as 4 city boys take a canoe trip down the river in hill billy country. It's a battle for survival and they end up battling the rednecks just to survive the trip!

Deliverance is an essential part of any video collection. In my humble opinion it ranks as one of the top films ever produced. If you are an adventurer, white water, hiking, motorcycling, camping & outdoor enthusiast - then this film is a must see. It clearly demonstrates the human condition in it's most humble form. Man against nature. Good versus evil. The triumph of Darwin's law. Survival of the fittest.

Four friends in two flimsy canoes navigate a river that they have just seen as a mark on a map.Lewis(Burt Reynolds)appears to be the leader of the group at the outset,but all that soon changes.Not only do they have to deal with the raging current of the river but things take a more sinister turn when they encounter some extremely unfriendly hillbillies with obligatory missing teeth and dungarees.Bobby(Ned Beatty)bears the brunt of their inbred tendencies and is literally made to 'squeal like a hog boy'in what has to be the most disturbing scene in the film.Just as the billies are lining up Ed(Jon Voigt)for similar treatment up pops Lewis and kills one of them with his bow & arrow.The other redneck makes off and the boys bury his friend's body in the woods.They decide to call it a day and get back on to the river.They encounter the worst raging torrent yet,and one of the canoes gets smashed and Drew(Ronnie Cox) gets smashed up by the rocks and is later found dead.Lewis is disabled by a compound fracture of the leg.They soon realise that the billy who ran off with the shotgun is now tracking them,so Ed(who previously was too scared to kill a deer)climbs the highest rockface you've ever seen and finally encounters the stalker and kills him.The film is masterful in it's portrayal of each man's change of character under stress and the scenery and river shots are both fascinating and breathtaking.The best and most light hearted part of the film for me was the famous 'Duelling Banjo's'scene.The bit where the old petrol pump attendant does his own version of a hoe-down to it is both memorable and hilarious.The music is fantastic.They don't make them like this any more.Brilliant

This is a great american classic....Watch out once the banjoes start playing...Go out and get your copy if you don't have it.

This is a classic and hard to find , so I thought(thanks Ebay). There are a lot of classic one liner used in this movie. I work with so very challenged LEO's a lot of them have a sick sense of humor, so this is a training day must.

Plays and looks as good as when it first came out..I had seen this movie a long time ago so had to have it,,,

This is a great classic movie and if you haven't seen it, you really should. Burt Reynolds and Jon Voigt are earlier in their careers in this movie and great to watch. The other two actors are great, too, though I can't remember their names!

great movie, suggest watching, one of Burt Reynolds best, gotta love the banjo music, I watch it anytime I can....

Arrived very fast, Just as described and advertised, Great communication, I would highly recommend this seller, Great Ebayer!!!

It was a good movie for the 70's. My husband has been wanting to see it again so I got it. It is one of his old favorites. The young Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight, and Ned Beatty gave a good performance in this thriller flick.

I was a white water enthusiast during and before the years of the filming of deliverance, so there was a feeling of comarade for me. The acting was good, the secenry was good, and there are unforgetable moments in the movie. Of course the dueling banjo's scene was terrific. I consider this movie a collectable.

This seller was fast, accurate and a pleasure to do buisness with. I would highly recommend buying from this person.

Have not been able to watch it yet as I ordered it for a customer who says our town reminds her of this movie.

Thank God these actors when on to becoming better actors. Weak Plot, weak action
weak acting, good music, some memorable lines, I saw it the first time many years ago. Bought it so my son could see it, he's 32.
