ActionAdventureDramaWarWestern114 min
In 1860s New Zealand, Samantha Morton's Sarah, a young Irish woman searching for her missing son, is drawn into the fighting between Māori tribes and the British colonial army. Her attempt to reach the child keeps pulling her across contested ground, where survival depends on navigating soldiers, settlers, and Indigenous leaders on both sides of the war. Kiefer Sutherland and Cliff Curtis are part of the ensemble around her as the story ties one mother’s pursuit to the wider violence of colonial expansion.
