==Plot==
In 1880s [[Australia]], Charlie Burns ([[Guy Pearce]]) and his gang engage in a gunfight with the police. All of the gang members except for Charlie and his younger brother Mikey are killed. Captain Morris Stanley ([[Ray Winstone]]) tells Charlie that he will have Mikey executed by Christmas, which is in 9 days. Stanley offers to free both Mikey ([[Richard Wilson (Australian actor)|Richard Wilson]]) and Charlie if Charlie agrees to kill his older brother Arthur Burns ([[Danny Huston]]), a mercurial psychopath and infamous mass-murdering outlaw who is wanted for serial rapes and murder. Mikey remains in custody while Charlie sets out to kill their brother. During a raid, the police capture some Aboriginal people who, when questioned, claim that Arthur is actually a "dog man" and no one goes near his cave.
Riding in search of Arthur, Charlie comes to the charred remains of the Hopkins home, a family that was murdered and the wife raped by the Burns gang. Along the way, he encounters an inebriated old man named Jellon Lamb ([[John Hurt]]) in a cantina where the owner has been speared to death. Charlie realizes that Lamb is a [[bounty hunter]] in pursuit of the Burns brothers and knocks him out. Later on, Charlie awakes and is speared in the chest by a group of Aboriginal men standing over him. Just before passing out, he witnesses the man who speared him get his head blown off by an unseen assailant.
