Details

In rural late nineteenth-century Australia, Captain Stanley and his men apprehend two of the three notorious Burns brothers, Charlie and Mike. The Burn gang is accused of brutally attacking the Hopkins family, resulting in the rape of Mrs. Hopkins and the murder of the entire family. Meanwhile, Arthur Burns, the eldest brother and the mastermind behind the gang, remains at large, seeking refuge in a mountain hideout.

Captain Stanley strikes a deal with Charlie: if he locates and eliminates Arthur within nine days, he will be pardoned for his crimes. This proposition not only offers Charlie the possibility of freedom but also promises to spare his younger brother Mike from the gallows.

As Charlie embarks on this perilous mission, the harsh and unforgiving Australian outback becomes a character in itself, creating an atmospheric backdrop for the story. The film explores themes of redemption, loyalty, and the depths of human morality as Charlie navigates his way through a treacherous landscape, torn between the need to save his brother and the demands of justice.

The Proposition is a gripping and intense Western that delves into the darkest aspects of humanity, testing the boundaries of loyalty and forgiveness. With superb storytelling and stunning visuals, this film offers an immersive experience that will captivate viewers from start to finish.
