If you're craving a sweeping, old-school epic with lush cinematography and genuine star power (Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman), this Baz Luhrmann spectacle delivers the goods—just accept that it's gloriously over-the-top rather than subtle. WATCH IT if you're in the mood for romance, adventure, and historical drama rolled into one massive production; skip it if you want something lean or restrained.

Plot

Set in northern Australia before World War II, an English aristocrat who inherits a sprawling ranch reluctantly pacts with a stock-man in order to protect her new property from a takeover plot. As the pair drive 2,000 head of cattle over unforgiving landscape, they experience the bombing of Darwin by Japanese forces firsthand.
