About

A lawyer assigned to a murder trial involving five Indigenous Australian men finds himself plagued by apocalyptic premonitions seemingly connected to both the case and freak weather incidents plaguing Sydney. The Last Wave is one of Peter Weir’s great Australian films, featuring a haunting atmosphere that turns the familiar streets of Sydney into a dreamlike landscape.
