The Last Wave

“Hasn't the weather been strange ...could it be a warning?”

David Burton (Richard Chamberlain), a Sydney tax lawyer, takes on the defense of five Aboriginal men accused of a ritual killing. One of them, Chris Lee (David Gulpilil), seems to know things about David that nobody has told him. Peter Weir shows the case pulling David away from his wife Annie (Olivia Hamnett) and his ordinary life, while the rain keeps falling over Sydney.
