THE PROPOSITION
SYNOPSIS
Set against the harsh and unforgiving landscape of
the 1880s Australian outback, "The Proposition" is
a visually stunning tale of loyalty, revenge and the
quest for justice in a lawless land. Charlie Burns
(Guy Pearce) is a renegade. Along with his two
brothers, Arthur (Danny Huston) and Mikey (Richard
Wilson), he is wanted for murder. When Captain
Stanley (Ray Winstone) captures Charlie and Mikey,
he offers Charlie a proposition in an attempt to end
the brutality that surrounds them -- the only way to
save Mikey from the noose is for Charlie to track
down and kill Arthur, his psychotic older brother.
An impossible moral dilemma leads to a murderous
climax.
