Screen icon William Holden ("The Devil's Brigade"), delivers the performance of a lifetime in this poignant action-adventure with stunning scenery from Australia's New South Wales. Patrick Foley (Holden) is a hard-hearted, no-nonsense loner who spent his life exploring the world and avoiding his feelings. When he returns to his remote Australian birthplace, he is met with more than the average outback wildlife...fate throws him together with young Shawn Daley (Ricky Schroder, "There Goes My Baby"), an orphaned, city-bred boy with little hope even less self-reliance. How can he take a pampered little child into perilous, wild country without risking both their lives? "The Earthling" is a spectacular, thought-provoking drama, beautifully shot by Donald McAlpine ("Stanley & Iris") and co-starring Jack Thompson ("The Sum of Us"). The final film in the glorious career of director Peter Collinson ("The House on Garibaldi Street") and second-to-last film of the legendary William Holden.
