In the unforgiving landscape of the Outback, Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) is presented with an impossible proposition by local lawman Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone): to save his younger brother Mikey from the noose, he must track down and kill Arthur (Danny Huston), his increasingly unhinged older sibling.
A palpable sense of foreboding builds in the oppressive heat, as each character takes on their punishing moral dilemmas and the cycle of violence appears unstoppable.

Aussie classic
Truly my all time favourite film and I've seen a few. Even though it's fiction it has a lot of truth about the old Australia. I can't imagine anyone but Nick cave writing this and the direction and acting is the best,not to mention the soundtrack. Can't recommend it enough especially this blu ray special edition.
