A stellar cast shine in this classic Australian period drama. Based on Banjo Paterson’s much-loved poem, the film is set in Australian high country. Jim Craig (Burlinson), orphaned by the death of his father, goes to work for an American rancher, Harrison (Douglas), falls for Harrison’s daughter Jessica (Thornton), and ends up rescuing a valuable colt. Made in an era when Australian films were lush and epic, The Man From Snowy River is a larger-than-life, sumptuous film with a final mountainside chase sequence, which makes this a timeless adventure story. Relive some of the most amazing horse sequences ever filmed.
