Fair Game
Short description
Set in the Australian outback, this film follows Jessica, a young woman who manages a wildlife sanctuary. After a conflict arises between her and three kangaroo hunters, the men begin to target both the animals in her care and Jessica herself. What starts as a series of cruel provocations escalates into a dangerous game of pursuit and terror.
Directed by Mario Andreacchio, this was the first of two films he directed, followed by Napoleon in 1995. The screenplay was written by Rob George, and the production was handled by The Australian Film Commission and Southern Films International. The movie stars Cassandra Delaney as Jessica, with Peter Ford, Garry Who, and David Sandford playing the hunters.
