The epic, true story of the most wanted men in Australia's bushranger history. After years on the run, Ben Hall and his infamous gang now only need to steal enough cash and gold to flee to America. The gang prove unstoppable until one fateful day during a Mail Coach robbery, a Police Sergeant is shot dead. With the laws soon to change, making the bounty on their heads profitable and deadly, Ben and his gang must each face the consequences of their crimes. As friends turn to enemies and enemies turn to bounty hunters, the police are now determined more than ever to capture or even kill the gang at any cost. After two years on the road, bushranger Ben Hall considers surrendering to the law when his old friend John Gilbert entices him back into the game. Taking on a fresh recruit John Dunn, the gang ride again, before long becoming the most wanted men in the British Empire. When they are declared outlaw, the three decide to flee the colony forever. As Ben Hall seeks to make peace with his tortured past, the their trusted friend becomes a police informant. They set a cunning trap for the outlaws, and on the cold morning of May 5th 1865, Ben Hall emerges alone from his camp… and walks into legend forever. First of all boring, I couldn't cope with the main character or the rest of them. A fearless outlaw who never shot anyone, a cheated husband who hit at one of his best friend's wife, eager for revenge, never actually does it, wanted to go to America, never did something in that direction. At some point I really wanted to hunt him myself. A non hero, a non anything, with my deepest apologies to Australian people if this offends them. I never seen a gun fight where nobody is able to shoot someone, not to kill but only shoot, in my entire life. Well except the end, there apparently nobody missed … Great film! Well researched and well delivered. Australian history as it should be seen. Can't wait to see what Matthew and the team create next!
