William Teason's design is totally different from all the other posters on this film and certainly the most striking.

This is the rarest and most sought-after poster on this film.

This film was produced and directed by John Boorman. The cast includes Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox. Four city dwellers take a canoeing trip on the soon to be dammed Cahulawassee River. Their peaceful trip turns dangerous when they come across rapids and hostile locals: 'Where does the camping trip end... and the nightmare begin? If you hear a banjo... start paddling faster. This is the weekend they didn't play golf.'
