When lawyer David Burton (Richard Chamberlain) is assigned a case to defend a group of indigenous Australian men, he is unprepared for the nightmares and dreamscapes ahead. Accused of murdering one of their own, the men stand trial amidst suspicious circumstances and, as Burton becomes plagued by unsettling visions, he is drawn to the mysterious Chris Lee (David Gulpilil) for answers to his torment. As the erratic climate turns dangerous, Burton senses a greater power at play, where tribal customs and the ancient ideas of Dreamtime may be more than just an ominous warning.

We first watched this deeply affecting Peter Weir movie in a cinema in the late 1970s. A movie about the "cosmological significant of significance of weather phenomena." A movie ahead of its time? Almost certainly!

This is some great Australian film. Worth watching. Some interesting shots of how Sydney used to be in the 70's.
