One of the best films from the 1980s was THE QUIET EARTH, a sci-fi pic from New Zealand, directed by Geoff Murphy. It starred Bruno Lawrence, Alison Routledge and Pete Smith.
The first dawn of the end-of-the-world is one of the most beautiful and foreboding images ever put on screen.
Murphy's two previous films were the ground breaking UTU and GOODBYE PORK PIE.
Bruno Lawrence went on to have a stellar screen career in Australia and Pete Smith scored big with the lead role in ONCE WERE WARRIORS.
