Wake in Fright Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD presents Ted Kotcheff’s harrowing Australian classic in a stunning Dolby Vision restoration. A visceral and unsettling descent into isolation, masculinity and excess, the film stands as one of the most uncompromising works of 1970s cinema.

Schoolteacher John Grant finds himself stranded in a remote Outback town after losing his money gambling. What begins as a temporary stop quickly spirals into a nightmare of relentless drinking, psychological unraveling and escalating violence, as he’s pulled deeper into the harsh and unforgiving environment.

Once overlooked, Wake in Fright has since been hailed as a landmark of Australian cinema, praised for its raw intensity and haunting portrayal of human breakdown.

directed by: Ted Kotcheff
starring: Gary Bond, Donald Pleasence, Jack Thompson
