It follows Chris Masterman (played by Ryan Corr), a former TV personality who finds himself stranded in a remote Outback town — where he meets 12-year-old Charlie, a spirited Indigenous girl with a talent for rescuing orphaned joeys. Together, they form an unlikely friendship — working to rehabilitate young kangaroos and finding a sense of connection and belonging in the process.

Set against the spectacular landscape of Central Australia, KANGAROO is a story about family, friendship, and conservation — brought to life by an incredible Australian cast including Ryan Corr, Deborah Mailman, Wayne Blair, and introducing newcomer Lily Whiteley.

With themes of community, wildlife rescue and the natural beauty of the Outback, KANGAROO is the kind of feel-good Australian story that families can experience together — with humour, heart, and a deep respect for the place it was made.

Second in charge Paddo (Ryan Corr) has looked after things while the club leader, Knuck (Matt Nable) finishes a 3 year prison sentence. In his absence Paddo has made some changes to the club, ones that are sure to cause conflict with the returning President.

These conflicts drive the story to extremes and the second half of the film is much more energetic than the first. The outlaw life portrayed here features a number of the cliches that come with the genre but in a marked difference, the real drivers of the story this time are women.

While the biker life will feel foreign to most, the concepts of loyalty and familial ties will ring universal. It’s the contrast between the known and the exotic that provides the main points of interest.
