Australia [M]

Director: Baz Luhrmann

Starring: Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Jack Thompson, Bryan Brown

Luhrmann's epic film is set in northern Australia prior to World War II and centres on an English aristocrat who inherits a huge cattle station.

When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough–hewn stockman to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country–s most unforgiving–land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor months earlier.
