The River Wild is a 1994 American thriller film directed by Curtis Hanson and starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, David Strathairn, John C. Reilly, and Joseph Mazzello. The story involves a family on a whitewater rafting trip who encounter two violent criminals in the wilderness. Streep received Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) nominations for her portrayal of a former river guide turned wife and mother.
Many of the film's whitewater scenes were filmed on the Rogue River, in Southern Oregon. Additional scenes were filmed in northwestern Montana, including rafting sequences on the Kootenai River and the Middle Fork of the Flathead River.
