At the height of urban paranoia and the birth of survivalist movement in the 1980s, director Michael Ritchie decided to team Robin Williams and Walter Matthau. Talk about an odd couple; yet it actually might have worked, with Matthau's hang-dog deadpan and Williams's manic energy, were it not for a limp script by Michael Leeson. Williams and Matthau play two victims of Reaganomics, unemployed acquaintances who witness a robbery and identify one of the participants to the police, an act that turns them into targets for the robber in question, who comes looking for them. Williams's response: become a one-man arsenal and join a training camp for militant survivalists. But the comedy is neither sharp enough nor sufficiently smart to pull it off; Matthau is the calm center while Williams's comedy rockets all around him, to surprisingly little effect. --Marshall Fine

This is a very funny story about three people put in an unusual situation. The drama part is the underlying story that stimulates the hilarious actions by Robin Williams; his life gets turned upside down. A wonderful heartfelt bonding between two unlikely people (Walter Matthau and Robin Williams). Jerry Reed is a lovable down on his luck hitman who gets entangled with Walter Matthau and Robin Williams through a series of unfortunate events. This is a great movie.

I bought Surviivors due to being a big fan of Robin Williams... the story seems, like some comedies, a bit out of touch, but the directors pulls it together nicely creating a charming film to enjoy with friends and family.
Matthau and Williams create a great duo in this classic film that leaves you convinced that it was a match made in heaven, when most, like myself couldnt see the two acheive the charisma that was protrayed. Great film that is highly recommended which can be enjoyed for years ... Read More

This is one of the funniest movies of the 80's. Why it wasn't more popular is a mystery right up there with why a horrible show like "Seindfeld" was so popular and a brilliant comedy like "Titus" was done in 3 seasons.
The scene near the end where Robbin Williams and Jerry Reed are in a shootout in the woods will have you in tears.... Comedy brilliance.

Walter Matthau and Robin Williams team up in an accidental joining of miseries. Enter Jerry Reed, who enters their life as a hit-man who himself has bottomed out. Reed's cadence is a remarkable riposte to Williams' slow maniacal meltdown, and Walter Matthau adds the spice of wisdom and grace to make the film spark. Enough comedy to keep the movie moving forward, especially the scene in the telephone booth where Williams invites Reed the killer to a "mano a mano" showdown. Very 80's, very funny.
