Rebellious teenager Ned Kelly (Heath Ledger) is wrongfully imprisoned for stealing a horse and, when he returns to the bosom of his large Irish family, finds that the police won't let him go straight. After being accused of a crime he didn't commit, Kelly is left with no option but to go on the run. Injustice, persecution and unlawful imprisonment are the meat of his story, all presented here with not too much of a rose-tinted perspective. Starring Orlando Bloom, Naomi Watts and Geoffrey Rush, the film was directed by Gregor Jordan (Two Hands) in 2003.
Trivia time: This film offers a rare chance to hear Heath Ledger speak with an Irish accent.
For geeks: A great clip with cast interviews.
