While travelling Australia in search of work, two brothers collide with an oncoming car. The sole survivor is well looked after by the inhabitants of nearby Paris, but is disturbed by their strange behaviour and the frequency of road accidents in the area.
A cult Ozploitation comedy, Peter Weir’s debut feature is a biting satire of small-town mores. It was also one of Stanley Kubrick’s favourite films and a direct inspiration for George Miller’s Mad Max series.
