Dead End Drive-In
Faced with a growing number of unemployed teenagers, the Australian Government has started locking them up in a drive-in cinema where they are fed a diet of junk food, beer, and all-night movies. Cars have been converted into dwellings and a punk suburbia has emerged.

Lauded by Quentin Tarantino, director Trenchard-Smith illustrates a destructive wasteland in this 80s Ozploitation classic. An irreverent tone is set where sparks fly in exciting high speed chases, impressive stunts and explosive shoot outs.
