Red Dog
Inspired by a true story about an extraordinary dog in Western Australia.
Dampier, Western Australia, 1971. A wild and desolate place where workers from all over the world come here to sweat away. When the sun goes down, these grafters make their way to the industrial hick town’s only pub where they drink, recall their homes and get involved in fights.
But this particular night things are somewhat quieter than usual. In the back room a dog is drawing its last breath. But this isn’t just any old cur; this is Red Dog, a dog everybody here knows and loves, and about whom everyone has a story to tell.
No doubt about it, Red Dog really is a character – and tonight everyone is prepared to agree for once. Inspired by a true story and based upon the novel by Louis De Bernieres. Full of comedy, romance and heart-warming drama, this has won numerous awards and has stormed the box office in Australia to become the highest grossing Australian film of 2011 and reach the Top 10 Australian films of all time.
