This is a movie I often come back to when I want to be entertained. It is very well done. It stars Tom Selleck as Matthew Quiqley, who has been hired from the West to help Elliott Marston (Alan Rickman) kill the aborigines from a long distance. It also stars Laura San Giacomo as Crazy Cora, who has been sent to Australia by her husband after her baby dies.
Quigley demonstrates his prowess with his long range rifle, but after he gets there and hears what he is suppose to do he rejects the idea. This bodes poorly for him as he is captured and beaten and then he and Cora are taken to the desert where it is assumed the desert will kill them. However Quigley has just enough strength and wit to get them out of the situation. However they are then in desert away from everything. It is only with the rescue of the aborigines they live. They then become defenders of the aborigine as Marston sends men to get rid of them. This includes shooting, and driving them off a cliff. Finally Quigley has had enough and heads to the Marston's ranch estate to put an end to this needless killing.
