The British Empire branded them as outlaws. The oppressed called them heroes.

CrimeDramaWesternThriller

Set against the badlands of Australia where the English rule with a bloody fist and the Irish endure, Ned Kelly discovers he comes from a line of Irish rebels — an uncompromising army of cross dressing bandits immortalised for terrorising their oppressors back in Ireland. Fuelled by the unfair arrest of his mother, Kelly recruits a wild bunch of warriors to plot one of the most audacious attacks of anarchy and rebellion the country has ever seen.

VIBE

A raw, visceral descent into outlaw myth. This film feels like a fever dream of rebellion, drenched in blood and dust. It's a brutal, operatic ride through the Australian bush, where legend is forged in violence and defiance.
