The year is 1942. When their warship is destroyed while crossing the Timor Sea, a young troop of Australian soldiers must find a way to survive the harsh seas on a quickly shrinking life raft. Adrift in the ocean, these survivors face brutal sun exposure, dehydration, and rising tensions. Panic takes root. Hunger sharpens tempers. But the most immediate threat is unseen and circling below. From Kiah Roache-Turner, director of Wyrmwood and Sting, Beast of War is a harrowing survival thriller set against the backdrop of World War II, combining explosive action, emotional depth, and primal terror in equal measure.
