Back in 1994, director Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) took audiences on a ride through white water when Meryl Streep’s Gail Hartman had to protect her exceptionally vulnerable family from Kevin Bacon’s nefarious Wade in The River Wild. Nearly 30 years later, the film is reimagined with actors Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl), Taran Killam (Coming 2 America), and Adam Brody (Shazam!). Thanks to Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, EoM is giving away three (3) Blu-ray editions of the Ben Ketai-directed remake. No tackling the rapids necessary for a chance to go on this adventure, just submit an entry before time runs out.

Giveaway runs until Tuesday, August 1st, at 11:59 PM EDT.

Official Synopsis:

Joey (Leighton Meester) fears there could be trouble ahead after her brother Gray (Taran Killam) invites Trevor (Adam Brody), a childhood friend with a troubled past, on their whitewater rafting adventure with two tourists. Once they become stranded in raging rapids, the thrill-seeking trip quickly turns from exciting to utterly terrifying as the rafters are trapped in a desperate fight for their lives, all while someone seems intent on sabotage to ensure shocking secrets stay buried. To survive the wild river, Joey will have to face her fears, and everyone will have to develop killer instincts before they’re torn apart by deception aboard the raft, or by deadly waters wreaking havoc all around them.

Available on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital August 1st, 2023.
