Plot

The classic Australian thriller.

One man's attempt to control his destiny.

'Wake In Fright' is an open-eyed nightmare played out under a scorching outback sun. A simple game of chance sets off a chain of events which slowly moves John Grant into a hideous nightmare world. He is confronted by the ugly side of the Australian outback, where human behaviour descends to animal depths.

Every effort made by Grant to escape this living hell is frustrated by the cruel hand of fate, and the harsh environment eventually wears him down beyond the limits of his tolerance.
