A group of people are vacationing in the Grand Canyon, where they paddle through the Colorado River on a white water rafting tour run by a man named Dave Savage. As the trip goes on, the vacationers fall prey to a mysterious killer.[2][3]
Production
Savage Water was filmed on location along the Colorado River in Utah, and was the last of four films produced by director Paul W. Kener's company Talking Pictures.[5][6] Screenwriter Kipp Boden was an actual Utah river runner.[1] The film's theme music was provided by Doug Warr, and Kener's wife Karen and her band the KC Classics performed the song "Sherrie", which is used in the film.[1]
