Outback trailer
1971
The opening shot of a car tyre spinning and squealing in the red dirt sets the tone for this trailer for the US release of Wake In Fright, where it was re-titled Outback.
In less than 30 seconds it manages to convey the menace and brutality at the heart of the film.
Though very short, and giving away nothing of the film's plot, the trailer effectively captures our attention.
