Wild Horses

Mitch (Keith Aberdein from Smash Palace) moves to Tongariro National Park, to help wrangle wild horses threatening ecology and traffic. He meets Sara, who shares an obsession for a fabled silver horse. They clash with rangers and deer recovery guns-for-hire (Bruno Lawrence is the black-clad villain) determined to eradicate the horses, and a showdown on the Desert Plateau ensues. In the notoriously fraught production, a stable of male acting legends channel Westerns and freedom-on-the-range (with the conservationists oddly set up as the bad guys).
