A River Runs Through It

A River Runs Through It transposes the Maclean brothers, Paul and Norman, against the Montana wilderness, where fly fishing and religious doctrine converge in a delicate balance. As sons of a minister, their idyllic youth contrasts sharply with the divergent paths they choose as adulthood beckons. Norman leaves for college, leaving Paul to grapple with local troubles, while their eventual reunion on the riverbanks invites a sober reflection on their separate journeys and the enduring ties that bind.
