In a colonial New Zealand torn apart by the Land Wars, a Maori warrior and a colonial settler set out to seek vengeance for the massacre of their families. Released in 1983, this powerful epic was Geoff Murphy's third feature - after "Wild Man" and "Goodbye Pork Pie". Focussed around the dynamic performances of screen veteran Bruno Lawrence and newcomer Anzac Wallace, Utu mines a painful and violent period of New Zealand history with unparalleled energy, humour and compassion.
