Ride the river virtually in the new IMAX film "Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk" opening Friday at the Carnegie Science Center's Rangos Omnimax Theater. The musical score features the Dave Matthews Band.

PITTSBURGH — River-rafting action on America's most iconic river and the majesty of the Grand Canyon combine to tell a story of how people can make a difference in "Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk," premiering Friday at the Rangos Omnimax Theater at the Carnegie Science Center on the North Side.

A stirring score featuring songs and music from Grammy Award-winning Dave Matthews Band sets the mood for this adventure that explores the spiritual, artistic and life-sustaining powers of water.

"Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk" is the largest filmmaking expedition in the canyon's recent history and the last major film production of its magnitude to be shot in the canyon due to new protective restrictions on the number of crew members and equipment allowed.

The canyon's Colorado River becomes a metaphor for global water issues, about how interconnected rivers, water supply, and humans are.
