    The story is about a family rafting trip that goes awry when they encounter two criminals on the river.

    Tom spends too much time working and not enough time with his family, straining his marriage to Gail.

    Wade and Terry pretend to be friendly rafters but are later revealed to have committed an armed robbery and are using the rafting trip to escape.

    A Boston couple, Gail (Meryl Streep) and Tom (David Strathairn) are having marital problems, due to Tom's

    inability to spend time with his family because of his work as an architect. Gail, a rafting expert, decides to take their son Roarke (Joseph Mazzello) on a holiday rafting trip down the Salmon River in Idaho, along with their pet dog. Their daughter Willa (Stephanie Sawyer) accompanies them to Gail's parents' house in Idaho. At the last minute, just when they are about to leave for the almost week-long trip, Tom joins them. As they are setting off, they meet a couple of other rafters, Wade (Kevin Bacon) and Terry (John C. Reilly), who appear to be friendly. Thus Gail, Tom, and Roarke leave for the trip, leaving Willa behind to be taken care of by her grandparents. In this scences the river was at its childhood stage. After a day's rafting, the family make camp for the night, but Tom continues to work on his renderings rather than entering fully into the experience. This agitates Roarke, who thinks that his father does not really seem to realize he is away from home. They are joined by Wade and Terry who help to celebrate Roarke's birthday the same night. Gail becomes friendly with Wade. However, after a while he begins acting suspicious and she decides it would be best to part ways. During the morning's rafting, he reveals to Roarke that they have a gun with them. As they raft down the river his parents discuss an exit strategy that will allow them to leave the two men behind, and at lunch the family attempts to leave on their raft and get away before Wade and Terry realize what is going on. Their attempt fails and Wade pulls the gun on them and assaults Tom. The family's dog runs off during the melee, avoiding a shot by Wade. Gail then realizes that an armed robbery she had heard about was actually carried out by Wade and Terry, and Wade and Terry's rafting trip is actually a way for the two to get away. The family is forced to raft at gunpoint down the rest of the river before they all set up camp for the night. A park ranger named Johnny (Benjamin Bratt), who knows Gail, is white water canoeing down the river. He bumps into the group. Wade holds the gun to Gail's back and they pretend everything is okay. Later, Johnny appears again. Wade shoots him and throws him into the rapids. The current of the river was very fast. Wade and Terry want to go down the river to a set of rapids where rafting is no longer allowed, because in recent years one person was killed and another was left paralyzed. They force Gail to raft down through the rapids despite her repeated attempts to flip the raft and so force them out of the river. During the night Tom attempts to steal the gun off the sleeping Terry but is heard and has to run into the bushes and to the river. Wade gives chase and believes he has shot him when he hears a loud splash into the water. At this moment the current of the river was calm. Tom reappears, reunites with the dog, and manages to flip the raft. Gail and Roarke, who have been tied to the raft by Wade, remain in it and manage to get hold of the gun, which had fallen into the water, while Tom is fighting Terry. The struggle ends when Gail throws the bag of money into the water and shoots Wade whose dead body floats off down the river. The river was at its oldage in these scenes The film ends with the family and Terry (who has been arrested) being helicoptered out.
