During the Great Depression, Quebec Bill Bonhomme (Kris Kristofferson) is a bright-spirited farmer and alcohol smuggler. Anticipating a harsh winter, Quebec Bill embarks on a dangerous whiskey run to support his family and protect his farm. Accompanied by his son Wild Bill (Charlie McDermott), his brother-in-law Henry Coville (Gary Farmer) and ex-convict Rat Kinneson (William Sanderson), Quebec Bill journeys from Vermont to the Canadian wilderness.

Critics Consensus

Disappearances benefits from a well-cast Kris Kristofferson in the lead role, but his presence isn't always enough to disguise an increasingly nonsensical story.

2.5/5

Magic realism is a tricky thing to pull off in a movie, and Disappearances, the third of Mr. Craven's films based on Mr. Mosher's novels, only occasionally succeeds.

The beautifully photographed Disappearances is solidly old-fashioned entertainment.

The film is lovely to look at, but makes not a lick of sense.

Disappearances delightfully fudges the line between an old-fashioned boy's adventure tale and a distinctly adult postmodern Western.

It's an ambitious work and shouldn't be too readily dismissed for its semi-successful foray into spirit-land. There is much else to enjoy and a wonderful terrain to discover.

There's a special Boy Scout charm to it all that I was enchanted with.
