Australia

"Australia," a romantic action-adventure set in northern Australia prior to World War II, centers on an English aristocrat (Nicole Kidman) who inherits a ranch the size of Maryland.

When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver (Hugh Jackman) to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land.

While out with the cattle the pair experience the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.

Starring: Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, David Wenham, Bruce Spence, Bryan Brown, Jacek Koman, Jack Thompson, John Jarratt
