The Last Wave (1977)
Directed by Peter Weir. Cast: Richard Chamberlain, Olivia Hamnett, Gulpilil, Frederick Parslow, Vivean Gray. The story of a lawyer defending a group of Australian aboriginals accused of killing one of their own. He suspects the victim has been killed for violating a tribal taboo, but the defendants deny any tribal association. Plagued by apocalyptic visions, he slowly realizes his own involvement with the aborigines... and their prophecies.
Plot
The film begins at an Australian school in the desert. Even though there are no clouds in the sky, the children hear thunder and a storm soon breaks out. In quick succession, a pounding rain, followed by grapefruit-sized hail, assail the schoolhouse. All while the sun is shining.
The rest of the film follows the personal journey of a corporate tax lawyer, plagued by recurring dream premonitions, who takes on the legal case of Aboriginals accused of murdering one of their group. The lawyer begins to suspect these are tribal Aboriginals living in the city, and that the death was a tribal killing (and subject to tribal law). As he questions one of the men, Chris, he suspects that his dreams are related to the case ... and to the increasingly strange weather phenomena besetting the city. As his dreams intensify, and his obsession with the murder case overcomes his life, the strange weather begins to bode of a coming apocalypse.
Rather than spell out the obvious spooky elements, Weir uses inference and mystery to build suspense. The film finally climaxes in a confrontation between the lawyer and the tribe's shaman in a subterranean sacred site beneath the city. The lawyer wins, killing the shaman and escapes to the surface to warn everyone about the Last Wave, but realises it's too late when he sees the wave bearing down on the city. The movie ends with shot of the lawyer collapsing in despair.
