At the outbreak of World War II an English aristocrat (Nicole Kidman) inherits a Northern Territory station in Australia’s outback. When cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver (Hugh Jackman) to drive two thousand head of cattle across the country's most unforgiving landscape, only to face the bombing of Darwin by Japanese forces.
Following the death of her husband, a ruthless Australian cattle baron, King Carney plots to take her land, and she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle drover to protect her ranch. The story is explored through the eyes of young Nullah, an Indigenous Australian child removed from his family as part of the government’s policies. Together, the trio experiences four life-altering years, which include a love affair between Lady Ashley and the drover, and the unavoidable impact of World War II on Northern Australia.
