Freedom (1982)

From the award-winning director of Shine, Scott Hicks, comes this seminal Australian road movie tracing one man's search for speed... and freedom. Ron (Jon Blake —Anzacs, The Lighthorsemen) is an angry young man with few work prospects having been sacked from his latest factory job. Rebelling against a society that offers him little hope, he lapses into fantasies of driving the highway in a sports car with a beautiful girl, and decides finally to steal the Porsche of his dreams.

Ron escapes onto the open road and along the way meets the errant Sally (Jad Capelja - Puberty Blues), who wants to retrieve her baby sent to live with foster parents. Chased by the law and their own demons, both risk all in a last attempt to fulfill their dreams. This Australian film classic features an all-star cast including Charles "Bud" Tingwell (Innocence), Chris Haywood (Jindabyne) and Candy Raymond (Don's Party), while the fast-paced soundtrack was composed by Cold Chisel's Don Walker.

Director: Scott Hicks
Starring: Jon Blake, Candy Raymond
