In 1939, shortly before World War II, English aristocrat Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman) travels halfway around the world to northern Australia. Her goal is to force her husband to sell Faraway Downs, a cattle station roughly the size of Belgium that is struggling financially. Baz Luhrmann directs the film, which places her in a harsh land far removed from her world of drawing rooms and etiquette. To reach the property, her husband has arranged for her to be escorted by Drover (Hugh Jackman), an independent cattleman as rough as she is refined, who is reluctant to take on the job. From the very start, the journey becomes a battle of wills between two people who can't stand each other and must depend on one another to survive a land that shows no mercy.

There's only one thing cattle fear more than a man on a horse, and that's a man standing on his own two feet, staring him right between the eyes.
