The Man From Snowy River

Movie / Show Details

George Miller directed this 1982 Australian western drama set during the 1880s frontier era. Bruce Kerr stars as an eighteen-year-old mountain farmer who leaves his home after his father’s death, heading to the lowlands to earn money and save his family’s farm. Kirk Douglas appears in a dual role, and the cast includes Chris Haywood, Jack Thompson, and David Bradshaw. The film follows the young protagonist as he takes on the dangerous challenge of taming a wild herd of horses, riding deep into the untamed wilderness where the Australian outback proves as unforgiving as the American West.

This PG-rated adventure comes on a single DVD disc with a runtime of 102 minutes from Twentieth Century Fox. The film showcases stunning cinematography of the Australian landscape, highlighted by a climactic chase sequence featuring dozens of horsemen and wild stallions across snow-covered peaks. A used copy gives you the chance to experience this frontier adventure without the full retail cost.
