In an electrifying breakthrough performance, Russell Crowe (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind) stars in Romper Stomper, the shocking feature debut of writer-director Geoffrey Wright (Cherry Falls).
In a Melbourne suburb, a violent neo-Nazi skinhead gang, led by the psychopathic Hando (Crowe), terrorises the Vietnamese Australian community. After an escalating series of violent incidents in which the gang is hunted by both the Vietnamese and the police, Hando’s girlfriend Gabrielle (Jacqueline McKenzie, Malignant) and confidant Davey (Daniel Pollock, in his only lead role) have second thoughts, leaving Hando with no way out...
Hugely controversial upon its original release, Romper Stomper remains a classic of Australian cinema and a provocative and unsettling indictment of racist violence and social alienation.
