Robbery Under Arms Acclaimed actor Sam Neill (The Dish, Jurassic Park) stars as the suave and enigmatic bushranger Captain Starlight in this lavish action adventure tale set in the rugged Australian outback. Joined by bush larrikin, Ben Marston (Ed Devereaux), and Ben’s two adventure-hungry sons (Steven Vidler and Christopher Cummins), Starlight leads his gang of wild colonial boys in search of riches, romance – and other men’s cattle.
Fourth adaptation and first made for television of the classic Australian bushranger novel Robbery Under Arms by Rolf Boldrewood. Made by the South Australian Film Corporation during the mini-series boom of the 1980s and filmed in the Flinders Ranges, it stars Sam Neill as the infamous Captain Starlight.
