Image of a still from the film Deliverance (1972). Burt Reynolds and Ned Beatty starred in the 1972 John Boorman film adaptation of the 1970 James Dickey novel. This image shows an overhead view of a boat on a tree-lined river.
Dickey's first novel, Deliverance, is an adventure story of a three-day canoe trip in the rugged wilderness of southern Appalachia, in which four suburbanites are brutalized both by the sheer force of the river and by violent and degenerate mountain men. Although James Dickey, an Atlanta, Georgia native, never identified Georgia as the book's setting, the city from which the four men come was widely assumed to have been Atlanta. Only a few months after the book's publication in March 1970, a film adaptation confirmed its Georgia setting by filming on location in Rabun County and on the Chattooga. Released in 1972, the film became one of the most popular of the year. - Metadata URL:
