Outback Revenge

Ten years after a global economic collapse that caused worldwide turmoil, the Australian outback is a lawless wasteland, crime and poverty are common and small military units patrol the outback attempting to maintain what little law and order is left. After a robbery gone wrong, Archie, Caleb and Henry flee, leaving behind Henry's injured brother Reynolds (Rey). While driving away, Archie mocks Rey and Henry attacks him, causing Caleb to crash the truck in which they were riding. When they cannot manoeuvre the truck out of debris, they abandon it, and Archie steals the car belonging to mysterious loner Eric. Eric manages to free the truck and follows them. After a brief chase, Archie stops and Eric confronts them. When Eric tries to attack Archie, Henry knocks him unconscious with a blow from a shotgun butt. Eric wakes up and drives the truck into town where he wanders into several establishments asking if they have seen the car. He goes to an opium den, where he finds a dwarf and two Chinese acrobats from a traveling circus in the backroom. As Eric follows the dwarf to his trailer to purchase a handgun, the dwarf throws a rock at his chained, defenceless dog. Inside the trailer, the dwarf offers Eric a gun for $300. Eric doesn't have $300, so he abruptly shoots the dwarf in the head and leaves with a gun. After another confrontation with the opium den's owner, he walks back to his truck and finds Rey, who asks why he is in his brother's (Henry's) car. Eric asks Rey where Henry is, but Rey faints. After seeking help from a shopkeeper, Eric takes Rey to a doctor, who performs surgery on him. The doctor cares for abandoned dogs, which seems to interest Eric. The next day, Eric sees two vehicles approaching in the distance, senses threat, and takes the doctor's rifle. The occupants of the vehicles turn out to be the travelling circus members seeking revenge for Eric's murder of the dwarf. When the doctor's companion comes to investigate, they kill him without warning. Eric shoots and kills the three acrobats, then leaves with Rey. Eric and Rey stay at a motel in an almost-abandoned town. While Eric is away from the room, Rey loads a snub-nose revolver, then sees an Army vehicle driving down the street. He takes cover behind a bed and hears someone attempting to enter the room from outside. He shoots through the door and is shocked to find he has killed the motel owner's young daughter. Rey is shot at by a soldier. Eric comes to the rescue, killing the soldier and driving away with Rey. While camping near an abandoned mine, Eric is arrested by two soldiers. At a tiny Army base nearby, he learns he will be transported to Sydney. Eric tells the soldier completing his paperwork that after finding his wife with another man, he killed them both. He is angry that the authorities seemed not to notice or care. The soldier ignores him. Rey breaks into the area, kills the two soldiers outside, then the third soldier who was processing Eric. Eric and Rey escape and later arrive at the town where Henry and the gang are hiding. They find Eric's car outside a house and break in. Eric holds Archie and Caleb at gunpoint, while Rey goes to confront Henry. Eventually Rey and Henry hold each other at gunpoint with Henry not understanding why his brother wants to kill him and at the same time Rey accusing his brother of abandoning him to die. Rey becomes emotionally overloaded and accidentally shoots, hitting the wall. This causes Henry to reactively shoot, hitting Rey in the neck. Eric hears the gunshot and kills Archie and Caleb before walking into Henry's room and finding Rey's body. He shoots a devastated Henry in the chest and then gathers and burns the bodies. Later, Eric pulls to the side of the road in his car. It is revealed that he was obsessed with finding the car because his dog's corpse was in the trunk. Eric prepares to bury the dog in the desert.
