Deliverance

Deliverance is a 1972 American thriller film produced and directed by John Boorman. Principal cast members include Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ronny Cox and Ned Beatty in his film debut.

Four Atlanta businessmen, Lewis (Reynolds), Ed (Voight), Bobby (Beatty) and Drew (Cox), decide to canoe down the Cahulawassee River in the remote Kentucky wilderness, expecting to have fun and see the glory of nature before the river valley is flooded by the construction of a dam. Lewis, an experienced outdoorsman, is the leader. Ed is also a veteran of several trips but lacks Lewis' machismo. Bobby and Drew are novices.

From the start, it is clear the four are aliens in this unknown location. The locals are crude and unimpressed with the presence of outsiders and the film implies that some of them are inbred. While attempting to secure drivers for their vehicles (to be delivered to the takeout point), Drew briefly connects with a local banjo-playing boy by joining him in an impromptu bluegrass jam, "Dueling Banjos". But when the song ends, the boy turns away without saying anything, refusing the impressed Drew's handshake. The four city boys, as they are called by one of the locals, exhibit a slightly condescending attitude toward the locals; Bobby, in particular, is very patronizing.
