Interesting film I stumbled across that has an interesting plot of state totalitarianism during a fictional revolution in New Zealand after an oil embargo on the country.
Stuck in the middle of these events and inadvertently drawn into them is Smith played by Sam Neill in his debut film appearance.
He begins the film estranged from his family life when his wife has an extramarital affair with 'Bullen' (Ian Mune) who later becomes the leader of the underground guerrilla movement in the country beset by a civil war that even involves the U.S. army.
Showcasing the breathtaking scenery of New Zealand it is unbelievably the first major feature from the country that went on to be the backdrop of major films such as The Lord Of The Rings films.
Director Roger Donaldson brings a thrilling film to international audiences launching the New Zealand film industry in the process.
As for Neill (and Donaldson) Hollywood beckoned.
