CACTUS


RELEASED: May 2008

Choose the wrong road and you’re cactus

Set against the unforgiving landscape of the Australian outback, Cactus inhabits a world where the line between victim and villain is easily blurred.

John Kelly (McMahon) is an ordinary man stuck between a rock and a much harder place. He needs cash. Fast. He accepts a job to kidnap and deliver professional gambler Eli Jones (Lyons) to his keepers in the Australian outback: No questions asked.

With no on-the-job experience, John sets out to settle the task at hand with his only companion, Bonnie; a red, grunting 1972 Ford Fairmont XA. The journey takes both captor and hostage out of the safety of the city, deep into the darkness of the desert where choices will be made with tragic consequences. As time and distance roll by, the courage and endurance of both is pushed to the limit in a land where the point of no return is hard to see through the bitumen haze.
