Defensa (1972)
Cuatro amigos que viven en la ciudad deciden pasar un fin de semana en los Montes Apalaches. Quieren bajar en canoa un río que atraviesa un bosque que pronto será inundado para la construcción de una presa. Tras una jornada placentera, el encuentro con los indígenas de la zona, convierte la excursión en una angustiosa pesadilla.
