In Steven Brill's WITHOUT A PADDLE three friends embark on a hilariously dangerous adventure through the woods of the Pacific Northwest When their childhood friend Billy dies 30-year-old buddies Dan (Seth Green) Tom (Dax Shepard) & Jerry (Matthew Lillard) return home to pay their respects While there they unearth a map that Billy left behind which may or may not lead to a hidden treasure Dan is a germ-phobic doctor who would rather spend his time anywhere but in the wilderness but the recently dumped Jerry & down-on-his-luck Tom are intent on fulfilling their friend's lifelong dream; & so begins the trio's journey It isn't long before things begin to spiral out of control Starting with a gigantic bear that mistakes Dan for one of its own the guys are also on the run from two pot-growing maniacs (Ethan Suplee Abraham Benrubi) who are looking for revenge after their marijuana farm is burned to a crisp Of course what would a wilderness expedition be without raging rapids a towering waterfall beautiful (but hairy) hippy chicks & an encounter with a menacing mountain man (Burt Reynolds) Brill's madcap adventure gleefully references DELIVERANCE & 1980s pop culture & features spot-on performances from Green Lillard & Shepard
