Australian classic movies at the Chiltern’s Star Theatre.

Robbery Under Arms 1985 version of the film. Acclaimed actor Sam Neill (Death in Brunswick, Jurassic Park) stars as the suave and enigmatic bushranger, Captain Starlight, in this action adventure tale set in the rugged Australian outback. Joined by bush larrikin, Ben Marston (Ed Devereaux – Skippy), and Ben’s two adventure-hungry sons (Steven Vidler and Christopher Cummings –My Brother Tom), Starlight leads his gang of wild colonial boys in search of riches, romance and other men’s cattle. After some daring escapades, the boys decide to change their lives and go straight after one last job. However their luck may be running out. With the chief of police and his men in tow, the outlaws will have to make a run for it in one last wild race to freedom.

Set in the 1880s the film is boisterous, funny and engaging and distinguished by some magnificent views of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
