Bush ranger Ben Hall is drawn back into crime by the reappearance of his old friend. The duo takes on a new recruit and soon begins a spree of robberies and crimes across New South Wales.

Fearing for his life, Ben makes desperate plans to flee the colony, but with a such a large bounty on their heads, treachery abounds where he least expects it.

Short Review

The film is a rich, if flawed, portrait of a haunted man and a romantic tribute to the Australian bush as a mirage of freedom.
