Force of Nature: The Dry 2

Force of Nature: The Dry 2 (2024) — watch online on iFILM — is an Australian mystery thriller directed by Robert Connolly, reuniting Eric Bana as federal agent Aaron Falk for a second case, this time alongside Anna Torv as his partner Carmen Cooper. The film picks up where the critically received The Dry (2020) left off.

Five women enter the Victorian mountain ranges on a corporate hiking retreat. Four come out. The missing fifth is Alice Russell — the whistle-blower Falk and Cooper have been running as a key informant. Each survivor gives a different account. None of them adds up. As the investigation pushes deeper into the bush, it becomes clear the wilderness itself is working against anyone trying to find the truth.

Connolly treats the rugged Victorian highland landscape as more than backdrop — the terrain shapes how characters move, what they hide, and what closes in on them. If you found The Dry's slow-burn atmosphere compelling, this follow-up delivers the same patient dread in a wilder, more physically demanding setting.
