Watchlist:
When a man's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, an unexpected confrontation ensues. If those ditches could talk... 1981, the American Southwest. Daniel is on his way to join his family, cruising through the desert valley while the sun is beating down on his old Chevy. But his car breaks down and he has to pull off the deserted road. But luckily a bad-ass trucker stops by to help him a hand...Remember BREAKDOWN, with Kurt Russell? It's a bit like that, except with a flashy 80's synth score. And what if people are not what they seem and the real evil guy is the one you least expect?

About
Down Under is a colloquialism differently construed to refer to Australia and New Zealand, or the Pacific island countries collectively. The term originally referred solely to Australia and gradually expanded in scope. It comes from the fact that Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, "below" almost all other countries on the usual arrangement of a map or globe which places cardinal north at the top.
