British noble lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman) travels across the ocean alone to persuade her husband to sell their Australian ranch and return to England. In the northern Australian port city of Darwin, Sarah meets the cattleman Drover (Hugh Jackman). Drover drives Sarah on a long journey to the ranch, only to find her recently deceased husband’s body. Heartbroken, Sarah initially wants to quickly sell the ranch, but she clashes with the local farm manager Neil Fletcher (David Wenham) to protect a young Indigenous child, Nullah (Brandon Walters). With 1,500 cattle to drive to Darwin for shipping, Sarah has no choice but to ask Drover for help. The cattle drive leads Sarah and Drover to fall in love in Australia. Shortly after their marriage, Drover's wandering nature leads him to leave Sarah to continue cattle herding; meanwhile, Nullah, who was supposed to undergo an Aboriginal coming-of-age ceremony, is captured along with other mixed-race children and taken to a missionary island, while his grandfather "King George" (David Gulpilil) is imprisoned. As World War II breaks out and the Japanese bomb Darwin, leaving destruction in its wake, can Sarah's family crisis be resolved? This film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design.
