The Overlanders


The Overlanders (1946)

It's the start of WWII in Northern Australia. The Japanese are getting close. People are evacuating and burning everything in a "scorched earth" policy. Rather than kill all their cattle, a disparate group decides to drive them overland half way across the continent.

Does anyone else think the synopsis of, 1946 film 'The Overlanders' sounds eerily familiar?
