Description
Mel Gibson delivers an electrifying performance in director Peter Weir's compelling story of friendship and adventure between two Australian soldiers in 1915. They cross continents and great oceans, climb the pyramids and walk through the ancient sands of Egypt to join their regiment at the fateful battle of Gallipoli.
The echoes of history blend with the friends' compelling destiny as they become part of a legendary World War I confrontation between Australia and the German allied Turks - a battle that is the Antipodean equivalent of the Alamo.
Plot Synopsis
An Australian film which centres on two young men caught up in the murderous battle for Gallipoli during World War I. Winner of nine AFI awards. Based on a story by Peter Weir.

Comments about Gallipoli (Special Collector's Edition):
Marvellous characterisation that brings alive the Australasian young men headed for the trenches of World War I. Marvellous characterisation - and a very! young but talented Mel Gibson. A must-watch for anyone with an interest in history, but also a very good yarn. Totally memorable.
