The River(1984)
He might be able to hold back the river. But could he hold back the greed of man?
Tom and Mae Garvey are a Tennessee farming couple battling violent floods to save their land. In addition to natural disasters, the Garveys fight to stop a selfish land developer and a local corporation from foreclosing on their farm.
