Set during Australia’s catastrophic 2019 “Black Summer” bushfires, Cruel Hands follows Maria and her 12-year-old son Dai as they flee her violent husband and seek refuge in an abandoned farmhouse. As fires rage across the region and emergency services struggle to locate the missing family, Maria attempts to build a safe new life for her son while Jason relentlessly hunts them through the smoke-filled wilderness. Trapped between a deadly natural disaster and the man they are trying to escape, mother and son are pushed to their limits in a tense and emotional fight for survival with devastating consequences.
Featuring powerful performances from Mavournee Hazel (Neighbours, Shantaram), Josh McConville (The Invisible Man, Elvis) and Diesel La Torraca (Ginny & Georgia, Lambs of God). Cruel Hands delivers a powerful story of survival under impossible circumstances. Additional cast incudes Harry Greenwood (The Nightingale, Hacksaw Ridge) and Geneviève Lemon (The Power of the Dog, Sweetie). Cruel Hands combines emotional authenticity with edge-of-your-seat suspense, establishing director Al Kalyk as an exciting new voice in genre cinema. Both a tense thriller and a poignant examination of trauma and endurance, Cruel Hands is an unforgettable story of refuge, pursuit, and the fight to reclaim one’s life.
