While travelling across Australia in search of work, two brothers are involved in a car accident. The sole survivor is taken in by the residents of the nearby small town of Paris, but their strange behaviour - and the alarming number of road accidents in the area - quickly unsettles him. It soon becomes clear that the town's feral youth rule the streets at night in souped-up cars, and the local hospital is overflowing with brain-damaged crash victims. Shot in widescreen on Panavision cameras, Peter Weir's (The Truman Show, Dead Poets Society) debut feature is a biting satire of small-town life. It was also one of Stanley Kubrick's favourite films and a direct inspiration for George Miller's Mad Max series.
