Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the 70s 'Ozploitation' wave that redefined Australian cinema through genre lens. The outback as antagonist became a national obsession.
Remade in 2008 with Jim Caviezel, but purists worship Eggleston's original for its patient cruelty and that ending you can't unsee.
