Archer's Adventure

In this story of uncomprimising courage and faith, Brett Climo plays Dave Power, a young and ambitious caretaker of a racehorse named Archer. In order to get Archer to the 1861 Melbourne Cup, where the horse must compete, Power takes it on a 600-mile outback odyssey, fraught with excitement and peril. Incredibly, this picaresque character study was based on a true story and features 18-year-old Nicole Kidman in a crucial role.
