Set against the majestic beauty of the great Northwest, Matt Calder (Robert Mitchum), is a rugged widower with a questionable past who decides it's time to start a new life with his young son Mark (Tommy Ruttig). But their peaceful existence is sabotaged when Matt is robbed and pistol-whipped by cold-blooded gambler Harry Weston (Rory Calhoun). Unexpectedly, Weston's fiancee Kay (Marilyn Monroe) postpones her wedding so she can nurse Matt back to health. In his bid to exact revenge at any cost, Matt takes Kay and Mark on a treacherous ride down a roaring river, where they're at the mercy of wild animals and a lawless frontier. Filmed on location in Canada's Banff and Jasper National Parks and starring a young, beautiful Marilyn Monroe, 'River Of No Return' is a thrilling and romantic story as breathtaking as its scenic backdrop.
