Stunning, brutal and uncompromising, WAKE IN FRIGHT is considered one of the best films ever made in Australia. John Grant, a teacher at a remote rural school, is looking forward to his Xmas break in Sydney. Staging overnight in Bundanyabba, a rough mining town, Grant decides to enter the smoky, crowded pub... A pub he would wish he never entered. Five days later Grant leaves town a broken man, with a single bullet in his gun.
