In the tradition of The
River Wild and Deliverance, Dead Ahead delivers an
electrifying mix of pulse-pounding thrills and wilderness
action-adventure. Maura Loch, a skilled archer, is
enjoying a family camping trip until a heated argument
causes her husband to leave. Maura stays behind with
her son and daughter, but they're not alone for long.
Four bankrobbers, led by a vicious killer named Frank,
descend upon the campground, terrorizing the women and
taking the boy hostage. With Maura's son as their
guide, Frank and his men head toward the remote airstrip
where their getaway plane awaits. Meanwhile, armed
only with a bow and arrows, Maura tracks the ruthless
criminals, battling her worst fears and the dangers of the
wild in a do-or-die effort to save her son.
