River's End is based on the true story of newlyweds Glen and Bessie Hyde, who vanished on their daredevil honeymoon in the Grand Canyon in 1928. Their dream was to earn a place in the record books by running the entire length of the Colorado River in a wooden boat they built themselves, then create a vaudeville act based on their adventures to cash in on their fame. A little over 6 weeks after they began their voyage, they disappeared. After an extensive search of the river, the couple's scow was discovered moored in quiet water, their supplies intact. Their disappearance remains a mystery to this day-a mystery that's greatly enhanced by the disquieting accounts of the last people to see the Hydes alive, and the emergence in the 1970's of several women who claim to have been Bessie Hyde.
