Two men, lost in the Australian desert, or are they? Hurtle (Gary Sweet), a tough Aussie bloke and ex-con, and Tahir, a soft-spoken, Afghani-Australian, are near death as they stumble across Jen, a headstrong American soldier stationed alone on a remote military base.
In good faith, and against regulations, Jen offers to help Tahir and Hurtle. But when Tahir drops a GPS Unit from his pocket, it becomes clear that they’re not lost, they’re exactly where they planned to be.
The Tumbler is the perfect example of what local filmmakers can do when they play full bore in genre filmmaking.
The film will be released in cinemas on September 2 by Pack Screen.
