    HIGH GROUND DIRECTED BY STEPHEN JOHNSON RELEASE DATE TBC RUNNING TIME 1 HOUR 45 MINS RATED TBC MADMAN ENTERTAINMENT PUBLICITY CONTACT: Harriet Dixon-Smith - [email protected] Lydia Debus - [email protected] https://www.madmanfilms.com.au TAGLINE In a bid to save the last of his family, Gutjuk, a young Aboriginal man teams up with ex-soldier Travis to track down Baywara, the most dangerous warrior in the Territory, his Uncle. SYNOPSIS Northern Territory, Australia 1919. The Great War is over, the men have returned home. Many return to their normal lives in the cities in the south, others are drawn to the vast open spaces of the North. A sparsely populated wild frontier. They hunt buffalo, they hunt crocodile, and those that can join the overstretched Police service. Travis and Ambrose are two such men. A former sniper, Travis has seen the very worst of humanity and the only thing that keeps him on track is his code of honour, tested to its limit when a botched police operation results in the massacre of an Indigenous tribe. Travis saves a terrified young boy named Gutjuk from the massacre. He takes him to the safety of a Christian mission but unable to deal with the ensuing cover up, Travis leaves his police outpost and disappears into the bush. Twelve years later, 18-year-old Gutjuk hears news of the ‘wild mob’ – a renegade group of Indigenous warriors causing havoc along the frontier attacking and burning cattle stations, killing settlers. It’s said their leader is Gutjuk’s uncle, Baywara thought to be a survivor of the massacre.

    DANGER CLOSE: The Battle of Long Tan PRODUCTION NOTES PUBLICITY REQUESTS: Amy Burgess / National Publicity Manager, Transmission Films 02 8333 9000, [email protected] Images: High res images and poster available to download via the DOWNLOAD MEDIA tab at: https://www.transmissionfilms.com.au/films/danger-close-the-battle-of-long-tan Running Time: 118 mins Distributed in Australia by Transmission Films DANGER CLOSE: The Battle of Long Tan – Production Notes SHORT SYNOPSIS South Vietnam, late afternoon on August 18, 1966 - for three and a half hours, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, a dispersed company of 108 young and mostly inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers are fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming force of over 2,000 battle hardened North Vietnamese soldiers. SYNOPSIS Inspired by a true story, DANGER CLOSE begins with Major Harry Smith [Travis Fimmel], the strict and highly motivated commander of Delta Company, 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, on operation in Nui Dat, Phuoc Tuy Province, Vietnam. Delta Company is made up of four platoons; 10, 11 and 12 platoons and a Company HQ, a total of 108 men. Harry is a career officer and he has no time to ‘coddle’ or befriend the men in his company. He feels that ‘babysitting’ these young men - half of which are conscripts - is beneath his special forces skills and previous combat experience. But with a point to prove, Harry is keen to show what his men, and importantly, he can do to make the best of a harrowing situation.

Together they overcome impossible odds for a shot at the dream: a ride in the 2015 Melbourne Cup, at odds of 100 to 1. The rest is history. ABOUT MICHELLE PAYNE Michelle Payne is a sportswoman whose remarkable story has raised Australia’s spirits.
