The Overlanders

A visually ambitious tale of a resilient drover (played by the affable, sun-dried Chips Rafferty), who, in the face of a Japanese invasion of the Northern Territories at the beginning of Australia's involvement in World War II, elects to drive a thousand head of cattle 2000 miles cross-country to Brisbane rather than have them slaughtered. 'The Overlanders' gazes in wonderment at the open spaces of the outback landscape and marvels at its sunlit pockets of adventure. The film was the first non-British film to be produced by Michael Balcon's Ealing Studio.
