As the cities of New Zealand are torn apart by civil anarchy and economic chaos, a political family man Smith (Sam Neill) flees his shattered marriage to live alone in the country. When he is falsely accused of being a saboteur, Smith becomes an unwitting pawn in a desperate battle between guerilla resistance fighters and the ruthless armies of the right wing government.

The legendary Warren Oates co-stars in this tense thriller produced and directed by Roger Donaldson. Sleeping Dogs made history as the first New Zealand film feature ever shown in American theatres.
