The Man from Snowy River

After his father is killed in a tragic accident, young Jim Craig (Tom Burlinson) has to leave the mountains, where he has grown up, to look for work. He makes the acquaintance of grizzled prospector Spur, and Spur's more respectable brother Harrison (both played by Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas). When Jim falls for Harrison's daughter, however, the old man doesn't approve. But Jim is in love and won't be deterred. He will prove his worth, no matter what the challenge! Adapted from the epic poem by 'Banjo' Patterson (Waltzing Mathilda), and filmed on stunning locations, The Man From Snowy River isn't just a glorious Australian classic: it's one of the finest family films ever made.
