Matthew Quigley (Tom Selleck) arrives
in Australia answering a wanted ad for long range sharpshooters. After
meeting an unstable American named Cora (Laura San Giacomo) and learning that
the man hiring him, Elliot Marston (Alan Rickman) wants him to use his skills
to kill the aborigines. This does not sit well with Quigley, who takes up the
fight for the natives.
