Description:
The people of a small Missouri farming town struggle to stand their ground against the uncontrolled fury of a raging Mississippi River in this gripping story of courage and survival. When heavy rains send a violent flood crest rushing toward the town of Belfield, immediate evacuation seems to be the community's only hope. But when the courageous residents choose to stay and fight the rampaging river, they quickly find themselves waging a life-or-death struggle against the rapidly rising waters. As the situation becomes more treacherous, one man must make the ultimate sacrifice in a desperate, last-ditch effort to survive one of nature's most awesome and overwhelming forces.

Made for TV and inspired by a true story, Flood takes us to a small town down the Mississippi awaiting disastrous high waters coming from upstream. Not too far fetched considering what happened in Iowa last summer (2008). The script is good, and the execution OK. The main drama, of two kids gone to fetch grandpa from the impending danger and getting stuck right in it, reminded me a lot of Dante's Peak.

Low budget and predictable disaster movie but satisfying enough for true disaster movie buffs. The casting and acting were decent--unremarkable but realistic special effects, especially when compared to the for real mega floods in the Midwest, summer of 2008.

I live in Missouri so the flood of 93 is very real for me. This movie gives a very real portrayal of the happenings during that time. It also represents the sacrifice and heroism that was around at that time.

The movie has a good story line and does a good job of showing the resistance Emergency Managers come up against in efforts to mitigate against disasters. It demonstrates the attitudes individuals in a community have when it comes to responding to a disaster. The move did get a little sappy in parts and just screams "Made for TV", but overall it was an enjoyable, uplifting movie.

Based on a true story. TV movie of the week status aside, this little flick is prety good. Richard Thomas looks like a man now instead of JOHN BOY and he can still act. Vernon is good in her role and the long lost love angle works between these two. Great watch with the one you love. The MOVIE HOUND gives this flick 3 dog bones.
