The Proposition is a visually stunning tale of loyalty, betrayal and retribution set on the frontier of 1880's Australia.

In the harsh, unforgiving landscape of the Outback, Charlie Burns is presented with an impossible proposition by local law enforcer Captain Stanley: the only way to save younger brother Mikey from the gallows is to track down and kill Arthur, his psychotic older brother.

Meanwhile Captain Stanley is desperate to shield his innocent wife from the brutalities of their new surroundings. He also faces mounting pressure from renegade natives and his superior Eden Fletcher to bring order to the region.
