A prospector who turns to crime and opium after failng at gold mining, Dan Morgan spends six brutal years in prison before terrorising country Victoria with a young Aboriginal, David Gulpilil (Walkabout, The Tracker). Having escaped into NSW, the bushranger and his accomplice easily dodge the police and mercilessly intimidate the wealthy land owners; but wracked by madness and a lust to avenge an earlier attack from an irate squatter, the notorious Mad Dog makes a perilous journey back into Victoria. Combining an all-star cast, including Jack Thompson, Bill Hunter and John Hargreaves, with a brilliant Dennis Hopper - who called the role one of his "great life experiences" - director Philippe Mora (Communion) creates one of the great period action dramas.
