Thank you for sharing – I loved it – the wonderful shots of Aussie rugged natural beauty and animals plus its fundamental message that life is short so – love, work together as a team to survive and give something back to the world rather than take all you can get from it.
This movie is a true gem. This film has a great script and excellent actors. The scenery is truly beautiful Thank you for sharing this. William Holden was such a beautiful man.
Schroeder grew up on our native, Staten Island N.Y.. In my old neighborhood, Great Kills. I was three years older than him, and when I was eleven years old, at the end of the 1978 football season for PeeWee football 🏈, little Schroeder was at our Football Party, and I carried him on my shoulders. We were in Eltingville near Hylan Blvd., throwing rotten crab apples at the buses passing by. Schroeder was a gutsy, bratty kid, but 100% likeable. He really went far in his life. I appreciate what he did in Kenosha Wi. for Kyle Rittenhouse, and the stand he took against mask mandates. I hope and pray that he finds a KJV of the Holy Word of God and becomes spiritually alive in Christ Jesus. I'm not a Mormon. But I am a Christian. ✝🛐🕊💞
Absolutely beautiful film, in first 20 min had glimpse to amazing analogue past with real people, scenery, kindness and natural, but because I read synopsis, I was expecting boy's parents to die in some mysterious circumstances, thought maybe wilde animals, nasty people ( wouldn't like that, and didn't looked like), something unexpected, then maybe crash on the road, but this how it went was so weird, I'm just stunned…. seriously??? Writer had to go through some marriage problems to come up with this 😅
Another nice upload, Global Entertainment…. And THX for the lovely 1080 HD film quality, TOO!!!👌 William Holden delivers a wonderfully soulful and believable performance…. AGAIN…. where quite sadly, Holden died just a year later at a mere 63, after 43 years of an often unsurpassable life and career making Classic Film History!!! 100% Kudos too, to then only 10 years old Ricky Schroder, who indeed gave an equally remarkable performance. And ALL within stunning film locations in Australia's beautifully rugged-n-remote New South Wales outback. 👍
My dad took me to the local movie theater to see this movie in 80 or 81 and absolutely loved it !! A great memory with my dad (today is his b.d.) would've been 87. God, i MISS my DAD !!!
People who commented here, that Patrick is "cruel bastard" or didn't watch it to the end, or didn't watch carefully or don't know reality. Patrick did all in best , honest interest of both of them, he teached boy how to survive, in his old farm, he knew that boy got basic skills and he knew also, that in any moment he can die, so in best interest of the boy, he couldn't go with him, cause trauma of loosing him again could cause boy motivation and sanity to get into safety, completely understandable decision,
NEVER throw narcotics into the fire. The load you’re on wears off. Then it’s hell on earth. Outstanding film. I remember the parents/death sequence from TV when I was a kid. My mom didn’t let me watch the movie.My dad tried to explain it was the perfect movie for a Sunday night in 1980. Guess you could say my families bus went off the cliff a year later. Nonetheless great film & Rick Schroeder is a great guy.

Why is Holden yelling so loud in this movie? Is he hard of hearing.?
It must have been a gruelling shoot for William Holden and especially so for Ricky Schroeder…

34:56 snakes, rats, dead parents in the broken car, really Aussie style extreme "coming out of age" family movie 😂🤣😂 seriously though, brilliant
