Quigley Down Under
Director: Simon Wincer
Actors: Tom Selleck, Laura San Giacomo, Alan Rickman
PlotMatthew Quigley is an American sharpshooter with unmatched skills, who travels to Australia under the pretense of a job offer from Elliot Marston, a wealthy and malevolent rancher. Marston hires Quigley for what he believes is a mission to rid his land of pests. However, upon arrival, Quigley discovers the true nature of his employment: Marston wants him to use his sharpshooting skills to eliminate the native Aboriginal people who are trying to reclaim their ancestral lands. Disgusted by this revelation, Quigley refuses the job and finds himself at odds with Marston.
Quigley is not left to face Marston's wrath alone, as he forms an unlikely alliance with Crazy Cora, a spirited and somewhat eccentric woman with a troubled past who inadvertently becomes his companion. Together, they find themselves targeted by Marston and his men, leading to a struggle for survival in the Australian Outback. Quigley must use his exceptional marksmanship and tactical abilities to outwit and defeat Marston, all while navigating the challenges of the rugged terrain and confronting the injustices inflicted upon the Aboriginal community. Through this ordeal, Quigley and Cora's relationship deepens, binding them together in their fight for justice and survival against a ruthless adversary.
