Starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman
Directed by Baz Lurhmann
Set in northern Australia prior to World War II, an English aristocrat (Kidman, The Golden Compass) inherits a ranch the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver (Hugh Jackman, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE
Starring Hugh Jackman, Liev Schrieber, Ryan Reynolds and Danny Huston
Directed by Gavin Hood
Starring Hugh Jackman (Australia) in the title role, X-Men Origins: Wolverine traces the origins of the popular steel-clawed character, including his time with the government-run Weapon X program. Led by Colonel William Stryker (Huston), the program enhanced the mutants’ abilities and turned regular humans into living weapons. As well as exploring Wolverine’s complex relationship with half-brother Victor Creed (Schreiber), the film introduces other legendary characters of the X-Men universe including Deadpool (Reynolds) and Gambit (Taylor Kitsch).
