Shipwrecked on Queensland's Great Barrier Reef in 1837, English sea Captain James Fraser (Noel Ferrier, The Year of Living Dangerously) and his innocent young wife Eliza (Susannah York, Tom Jones) face an uphill struggle for survival against the harsh and unforgiving Australian conditions. Waiting to be rescued, the couple takes up residency with the local aboriginal people and watch as their mutinous crew transform into savages before their very eyes. (Umbrella Entertainment)
