The film follows the journey of Matt Calder (played by Robert Mitchum), a widowed farmer and ex-convict who is trying to build a new life for himself and his young son, Mark (played by Tommy Rettig). Their lives take an unexpected turn when they encounter Kay Weston (played by Marilyn Monroe), a saloon singer on the run from her past.
As the trio embarks on a treacherous journey down the Salmon River, they face numerous challenges, including dangerous rapids, hostile Native American encounters, and the pursuit of vengeful outlaws.

Marilyn Monroe's role as Kay Weston is one of her more dramatic performances, and her presence adds a touch of glamour to the rugged Western setting. Robert Mitchum delivers a strong and stoic portrayal of Matt Calder, and their on-screen chemistry adds depth to their characters' evolving relationship.
The film's musical score, featuring the title song "River of No Return," sung by Marilyn Monroe and composed by Lionel Newman and Ken Darby, became a memorable part of the film's legacy.
"River of No Return" was a commercial success upon its release and has remained a classic of the Western genre.
