The Legend Of Ben Hall

Bush ranger Ben Hall is drawn back into crime by the reappearance of his old friend. The duo takes on a new recruit and soon begins a spree of robberies and crimes across New South Wales. After killing two policemen, the three become the most wanted men in the colony when the government declares that they can be shot on sight. Fearing for his life, Ben makes desperate plans to flee the colony, but with a such a large bounty on their heads, treachery abounds where he least expects it.

Critic Reviews:

• " The film is a rich, if flawed, portrait of a haunted man and a romantic tribute to the Australian bush as a mirage of freedom. " – Jason Di Rosso

• " It's a serviceable Aussie Western set circa 1864, one that moves at a good clip. " – Luke Y. Thompson

• " The long-neglected tale of bushranger Ben Hall – there was an ABC TV series way back in 1975 – receives a pretty good going over in this impressive, ambitious, incident-packed feature from writer/director Matthew Holmes. " – Jim Schembri
