Red Hill

A young policeman is the only thing that stands between a small town and a pack of vicious outlaws in this western drama from Australia. Shane Cooper (Ryan Kwanten) is a lawman looking for a more peaceful life for himself and his wife Alice (Claire van der Boom), who is expecting a child. Cooper takes a job as the constable of a small town called Red Hill without ever visiting the place, and in his first day on the job, his superior "Old Bill" Jones (Steve Bisley) and his colleagues don't seem to think much of him, while the people of Red Hill seem like a quiet bunch who prefer to be left alone. But the quiet in Red Hill is shattered when Jones gets word that convicted killer Jimmy Conway (Tom E. Lewis) has escaped from prison. Ten years ago, Jones captured Conway and put him behind bars, and it's expected that he'll be making tracks to Red Hill to get revenge. Fearing for his life, Jones leaves Red Hill and most of the city's officers follow suit. Now Cooper has to whip a handful of citizen volunteers into shape as Conway and his partners head into town with murder on their minds. Red Hill was the first feature film from director Patrick Hughes. - Mark Deming, Rovi
