"The British Empire branded them as outlaws. The oppressed called them heroes."

Boxlist takeRealistic and rough-edged: an unhurried crime drama, heavy rather than light. Best if you like grit over polish.

Synopsis

Set against the badlands of colonial Australia where the English rule with a bloody fist and the Irish endure, Ned Kelly discovers he comes from a line of Irish rebels—an uncompromising army of cross dressing bandits immortalised for terrorising their oppressors back in Ireland. Nurtured by the notorious bushranger, Harry Power and fuelled by the unfair arrest of his mother, Kelly recruits a wild bunch of warriors to plot one of the most audacious attacks of anarchy and rebellion the country has ever seen.
