Gregor Jordan's version of the Australian legend
Ned Kelly stars
Heath Ledger as the title outlaw. Sixteen-year-old Irish immigrant
Ned is sentenced to three years in prison for stealing a horse. After his release he finds work tending to horses owned by
Richard Cook (
Nicholas Bell), whose wife (
Naomi Watts) grows interested in
Ned.
Fitzpatrick (
Kiri Paramore) is a police officer with a yen for
Ned's sister
Kate (
Kerry Condon). When she rejects him,
Fitzpatrick steals the family's animals. The brothers are falsely accused of a crime and go into hiding, leading to the assault and arrest of their beloved mother.
Francis Hare (
Geoffrey Rush) is eventually brought on to stop the gang that becomes famous after a string of bank robberies. The film also features
Orlando Bloom (of
Lord of the Rings fame) and Rachel Griffiths (
Six Feet Under). The most recent version of this oft-filmed tale featured
Mick Jagger as the infamous
Kelly in 1970.
