1971 · TMDB 7.2
Directed by Ted Kotcheff
A young schoolteacher descends into personal moral degradation after finding himself stranded in a brutal, menacing town in outback Australia.

A teacher stranded in an outback town descends into a nightmare of violence and kangaroo hunts. The Australian landscape becomes a character, indifferent and hostile.
