Set in gold rush-era Victoria, this violent, rollicking portrayal of Irish outlaw Dan Morgan (played brilliantly by Dennis Hopper – Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now) is a classic of the Australian cinema revival.

A prospector who turns to crime after failing at gold mining, Morgan spends six years in prison before terrorizing country Victoria as a marauding bushranger along with a young Aboriginal (David Gulpilil, Walkabout). But soon madness and revenge cause the infamous outlaw to self-destruct.

Contrasting the brutality of the colonial era with the majestic beauty of the Australian bush, director Phillip Mora (Communion) combined with an all-star Australian cast including Bill Hunter, Jack Thompson and John Hargreaves to create a must-see action drama in the tradition of The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith.
