Normally a trip down a river has a calming and soothing effect. Not so when TV personality Dr. Emmett Cole disappears
while exploring the Amazon River. His
wife, friends and TV crew set out to find him.
At first all seems normal. Granted a river cruise deep into the jungles
of the Amazon is no Sunday drive in country, but this cruise has its share of surprises.
Wild animals, strange sights and sounds abound but when the would-be
rescuers find the doctor's boat with no one on board things go from wild to
weird.
Soon they find themselves deep in unexplored Amazon River territory where
magic and danger abound and nothing appears as it seems.
Steven Spielberg, Oren Peli and ABC
Studios present the Complete First Season of The River, a terrifying TV series
that turns a river cruise into a battle for survival.
