Directed in 1971 by Ted Kotcheff (First Blood) and starring Donald Pleasence (Halloween), Wake in Fright tells the nightmarish story of a schoolteacher’s (Gary Bond) descent into personal demoralization at the hands of drunken, deranged derelicts while stranded in a small town in outback Australia. Believed to be lost for decades and virtually unseen in America until now, Wake in Fright returns fully-restored, in what the New York Observer says “may be the greatest Australian film ever made.”
