White Water Summer
White Water Summer is a 1987 American drama film directed by Jeff Bleckner and starring Kevin Bacon, Sean Astin, Jonathan Ward, and Matt Adler. The film was released on July 10, 1987, to mostly negative reviews from critics.
Alan Block is a teenage city slicker with his whole summer planned out. That is, until his parents introduce him to Vic, a charming wilderness survival guide. Vic convinces them that six weeks off the grid is exactly what Alan needs to become a man.
Alan reluctantly joins Vic and three other teens – Chris, Mitch and George – for a trek into the great outdoors. However, he is taunted by Chris and George and learns that Vic is deadly serious about his job, but he does form a friendship with Mitch. On their first night, Alan carves his initials into a tree. After Vic finds out, he calls the others to vote on his punishment. They take away his knife.
In another incident, while the group goes swimming at a river, Alan and Mitch listen to a ball game on the radio, but Vic confiscates the radio. Later, Vic asks Alan to be his bowman while white water rafting. Alan is unprepared and loses an oar. While Vic praises Alan's efforts, Alan feels Vic set him up to fail. Later, Vic asks the boys to cross a dangerous rope bridge. Alan crosses it with the others but leaves their tent poles behind. Upon realizing this, Vic sends him back to collect them alone. In his attempt to re-cross the bridge, Alan steps on a severed rope, nearly falls into the ravine, and does not cross the bridge again. Embarrassed, he returns and explains that he could not find them, but Vic catches him in his lie; he watched him the entire way and even retrieved the poles.
The tension between Alan and Vic escalates when the group goes fishing on an island. Instead of following Vic's lead and catching them with his bare hands, Alan invents a fish trap. Furious, Vic tosses the fish he caught and forces him to clean the others’ fish. Alan refuses and Vic leaves with the group, stranding him on the island until the fish are cleaned. Alan stays on the island for the night, through a thunderstorm, and refuses to complete the task.
The next morning, the others retrieve him. When they return, they find that Vic has disappeared. The boys fight with each other about what to do and take cover after a storm hits. Vic suddenly returns the next morning and praises their survival skills.
Although everyone has grown weary of Vic, they follow him on their next group activity of climbing Devil's Tooth – a treacherous peak. When they reach a gap, Vic creates a pendulum for the boys to swing across. Alan is last to go but is the only one who does not make the jump. Despite the others’ protests, Vic leaves Alan dangling and instructs him to figure his own way out of it.
Chris challenges Vic's leadership and Vic retaliates by holding him over the edge of a cliff. Left to his own devices, Alan eventually creates enough momentum to swing across to safety. Upon catching up to the group, Alan and the others confront Vic and a foot chase ensues. Furious, Chris throws rocks at Vic and hits him with an oar, sending him over the edge of a ravine. With Vic having broken his leg in the fall, Alan creates a pulley and the group hoist him out of the ravine.
