Minnamurra (1989): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1989, Minnamurra is an action, drama, adventure and romance film directed by Ian Barry, running about 93 minutes.

What it’s about. Underrated leading man Jeff Fahey carries most of the dramatic weight of the Australian Wrangler. Fahey plays a handsome, athletic businessman who vies for the hand of rancher's daughter Tushika Bergen. Our hero must not only contend with his romantic rival, a dashing but dangerous cattleman, but also with a villainous creditor who craves the land left to Bergen by her late father. By nature of its plotline and setting, Wrangler can't help but invite comparisons to the popular The Man From Snowy River. Still, the stars and director Ian Barry keep up the appearances of freshness and originality

Who’s in it. Minnamurra stars Jeff Fahey as Ben Creed, Tushka Bergen as Alice May Richards, Steven Vidler as Jack Donaghue and Richard Moir as Bill Thompson, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Minnamurra has proved divisive with audiences.
