What is Breaker Morant about?
During the Boer War, three Australian lieutenants are on trial for shooting Boer prisoners. Though they acted under orders, they are being used as scapegoats by the General Staff, who hopes to distance themselves from the irregular practices of the war. The trial does not progress as smoothly as expected by the General Staff, as the defence puts up a strong fight in the courtroom.
Breaker Morant is a 1980 Australian biographical war drama film directed by Bruce Beresford, who also co-wrote the screenplay based on Kenneth G. Ross's 1978 play of the same name. It stars Edward Woodward as the title character, Lt. Harry Harbord "Breaker" Morant, along with Jack Thompson, John Waters, and Bryan Brown.
