SynopsisFrom award-winning director Ivan Sen (Beneath Clouds, Toomelah), MYSTERY ROAD is a powerful and intelligent modern-day take on the Western genre, with strong social and political commentary. When Aboriginal detective Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen) returns to his home town to solve the brutal murder of a teenage girl, he is immediately thrown into a web of lies and deceit. Alienated by the white-dominated police force to which he is attached, and ostracized by the local indigenous community, Jay must stand alone and attempt to unravel the truth before tensions boil over. Beautifully shot and featuring a stellar Australian ensemble cast including Aaron Pedersen (Jack Irish, Bad Karma, The Circuit), Hugo Weaving (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix), Jack Thompson (The Great Gatsby, Australia, Star Wars: Episode II) and Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), MYSTERY ROAD will keep you guessing until its nail-biting and action-packed conclusion.
