* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: It gets an "inspired by true events" disclaimer, but it's pretty clearly fictional. However, there have been some high profile disappearances in Yosemite, and Rick has some similarities to SerialKiller Cary Stayner, a handyman at a motel near the park who operated in TheNineties. The SerialKiller pair of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng, who took their victims to an isolated cabin in the Sierra Nevada Mountains before getting caught in 1985, might also have inspired the plot.

''Vanished in Yosemite'' is a 2023 Creator/Lifetime [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek Movie of the Week]] {{Thriller}} film, directed by Creator/DougCampbell and written by Campbell and Andrea Shawcross.
UsefulNotes/LosAngeles physician's assistant Jennifer (Skye Coyne) and her younger sister Katrina (Kelcie Stranahan) have gone to Yosemite National Park for a getaway. They meet Rick (Rob [=LaColla=]), a handsome photographer who Katrina immediately falls for. When Katrina disappears while on a hike with Rick, Jennifer panics, and enlists her ex Wally (Jason Tobias) to help her look for her sister. Meanwhile, Rick has taken Katrina to a remote cabin and tied her to a bed, apparently planning to use her for "fun" with a mysterious "buddy" who's slated to join him. When a video Jennifer sends out about her search goes viral, the stakes get much higher for everyone involved.
'''Note''': This film contains a ''major'' third-act PlotTwist that necessitates a lot of the entries below having {{Spoiler}} tags.
!!''Vanished in Yosemite'' contains examples of:
* BelligerentSexualTension: Jennifer and Wally spend most of the movie bickering LikeAnOldMarriedCouple, which Wally, who ultimately wants to get back with her, actually seems to enjoy.
* BoundAndGagged: At first Rick just ties Katrina to the bed, but after her escape attempt he adds a gag as well.
* BrainlessBeauty: Katrina's most obvious trait, especially when she makes two boneheaded decisions that steer her more toward danger--[[spoiler:leaving her water bottle with Rick, which allows him to drug it, then stopping her running while she tries to escape, even when the guy helping tells her to keep going.]]
* ControlFreak: Katrina calls Jennifer this, but adds "in a good way".
* EleventhHourRanger: Melissa (played by Mackenzie Possage), a waitress at the lodge who calls Jennifer and offers her information about Rick and help in her search for Katrina. [[spoiler:She's actually Rick's sister and his "buddy" for HuntingTheMostDangerousGame, and it's a BatmanGambit to capture Jennifer]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Rick is clearly devastated when he accidentally shoots Melissa with an arrow, tearfully rushing to her aid.]]
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Katrina is the flirty, man-crazy, laid-back, but also judgment-impaired sister, while Jennifer is the more serious one, organized to the point that she has their Yosemite scheduled planned out to the exact minute.

* PsychoLesbian: [[spoiler:Melissa cheerfully admits that she chooses her female victims based on how attractive she finds them, even kissing Jennifer and calling her "pretty"]].
* SceneryPorn: The whole point of setting a movie in a National Park, and there are many gorgeous shots throughout.
* ShoutOut: For the second time in his filmography (''Pom Poms and Payback'' was the first), Creator/DougCampbell does an homage to the scene in ''Film/FamilyPlot'' where a car with sabotaged brakes speeds down a mountain road.
* SlippingAMickey: Rick drugs Katrina's water while she stops for a bathroom break. [[spoiler:Later he and Melissa both similarly drug Katrina and Jennifer before taking them out for the hunting episode, and Melissa admits to poisoning Jennifer's food at the lodge dinner so she couldn't go hike with Katrina and Rick.]]
* SoftSpokenSadist: [[spoiler:Melissa keeps a friendly demeanor and a smile even as she tells Jennifer that Rick will slash her throat if she talks.]]
* SpitefulSpit: When Rick tries to force-feed Katrina chili, she keeps spitting it out on him.
* VisualInnuendo: Katrina is impressed by the huge lens on Rick's camera.
-->'''Rick''': It's ridiculously big, isn't it?
* WorkingWithTheEx: After Katrina goes missing, Jennifer calls her ex-boyfriend Wally, who lives within reasonable driving distance to Yosemite, to help her in the search.
