Australia is an epic and romantic action adventure, set in that country on the explosive brink of World War II. An English aristocrat travels to the faraway continent where she meets a rough-hewn local, and reluctantly agrees to join forces with him to save the land she inherited. Together they embark upon a transforming journey across hundreds of miles of the world's most beautiful yet unforgiving terrain, only to face the bombing of the city of Darwin by the Japanese forces that attacked Pearl Harbor. (PG-13/150 min.)

"A testament to movie love at its most devout, cinematic spectacle at its most extreme, and kitsch as an act of aesthetic communion."
