In 1937 an Airlines of Australia Stinson aircraft takes off from Archerfield Aerodrome, Brisbane carrying two pilots and five passengers.

Twenty minutes later it flies into the teeth of a cyclone and crashes in the wilderness of Queensland’s Lamington National Park.

Three men survive the crash and find themselves lost in the middle of an inhospitable and alien environment. Surrounded by almost impenetrable forest, two of them decide to wait to be rescued. The third man chooses to go to find help.

The two who remain at the crash site soon discover a mutual dislike for one another but circumstances force one of them to work to keep the other alive. They are bound together by fate and if they cannot overcome their hatred they will die.

Battling against blistering heat, starvation, poisonous snakes and their own fraying personalities, for ten days the survivors somehow cling to life.

Meanwhile, a vast air and land search is focused on completely the wrong locations. Only one man is looking in the right place and no-one believes him. Can legendary bushman Bernard O’Reilly find them in time? Can he even find them at all in the sea of green, or will all his efforts be in vain?

Our story features a spectacular plane crash, highly charged emotional scenes, personal courage, dramatic confrontations, exciting action sequences, encounters with dangerous animals and richly drawn, compelling lead characters whose uncertain fate provides the film with its tension and narrative drive.
