Ten explorers face rapids, hunger, and disaster deep inside the Grand Canyon

Major John Wesley Powell leads a small expedition into the unknown reaches of the Grand Canyon with one dangerous objective: chart the Colorado River and discover what lies beyond its violent rapids. As the ten men push deeper into the canyon, the journey becomes a relentless test of endurance. Boats are battered by white water, supplies grow scarce, and fear begins to divide the expedition. With no easy way back and the river growing more dangerous every mile, Powell and his crew must decide how much they are willing to risk in the name of exploration. A classic 1960 adventure western starring Brian Keith, John Beal, and James Drury.
