A tale of tragedy, confusion and murder as the lives of a man grieving the death of his daughter, two would-be thieves, and a madman and his servant intertwine with each other when a cosmic phenomenon causes one day to become longer than the rest.

A River Runs Through It is a cinematographically stunning true story of Norman Maclean. The story follows Norman and his brother Paul through the experiences of life and growing up, and how their love of fly fishing keeps them together despite varying life circumstances in the untamed west of Montana in the 1920s.
