The Story:
In the quaint fishing town of Brownsville, Oregon, relentless rains swell the waters of a majestic lake held back by an aging dam, drawing tourists and locals alike to its serene shores; but as cracks appear and warnings from councilman Paul Burke (Martin Milner) fall on deaf ears to the skeptical Mayor John Cutler (Richard Basehart), helicopter pilot Steve Brannigan (Robert Culp) senses impending doom.
When the dam catastrophically bursts, unleashing a torrent that engulfs the valley, nurse Mary Cutler (Barbara Hershey)—the mayor’s devoted daughter—races to evacuate her hospital patients amid rising chaos, while pregnant Abbie Adams (Carol Lynley) is trapped in her flooding home after her husband Sam’s tragic death in the initial collapse, and young Andy Cutler is swept into the raging river, battling for his life against the merciless currents.
Feel the pulse-pounding terror of nature’s fury in this gripping disaster saga, where heroes rise from the depths of desperation, helicopters defy the deluge, and one town’s fight for survival hangs by a thread—will they outrun the flood, or be swept away forever?
