Hollywood heavyweights James Mason and Tom Skerritt star in this gripping Ozploitation gem about Howard Anderson, an American architect, battling a deranged arsonist to save his million-dollar resort in the picturesque Blue Mountains. As temperatures soar and bushland is decimated, Anderson races to save his property - and also his daughter’s life - from a madman whose crime has escalated from arson to murder. Packed with action, intrigue and one Ozploitation cinema’s most iconic set-pieces (Wendy Hughes dragged underwater by an unseen assailant at Bondi beach) A Dangerous Summer is a homegrown thriller that is as fast and explosive as a raging runaway bushfire! (Umbrella Entertainment)
