Synopsis
A young police officer Shane Cooper (Ryan Kwanten) is starting his
first day in a new job, after relocating to the small country town
of Red Hill with his pregnant wife Alice (Claire Van Der Boom) to
start a family. With the news of a prison break, local law
enforcement officers - led by the town’s ruling presence, Old Bill
(Steve Bisley) – are sent into a panic. Shane’s first day on
duty unexpectedly and rather rapidly turns into a nightmare.
Enter Jimmy Conway (Tom E Lewis), a convicted murderer serving life
behind bars, who has returned to the isolated outpost seeking
revenge. Now caught in the middle of what will become a terrifying
and bloody confrontation, Shane will be forced to take the law into
his own hands if he is to survive.
A taut thriller which unfolds over the course of a single day and
night, told with explosive action and chilling violence, RED HILL is
a modern-day western played out against the extraordinary landscapes
of high-country Australia.
