Seventy years, one skeleton, and the sun decides to quit—Australian cinema at its most unhinged.
It begins with the discovery of the Mungo Skeletons in Australia by Professor Bowler in 1969 and ends with the destruction of the Earth by solar flare in 2039. A unique fusion of science fiction, mysticism, and post-apocalyptic fantasy, The Rare Earth is a compelling drama beautifully shot in the wilds of Australia.
