Outback

Outback (2020) is a survival thriller you can watch online on iFILM, and it's drawn from a real ordeal. Lisa and Wade fly into Australia as a young American couple — mid-flight he proposes, she turns him down. The trip never recovers from that no.

A rented car and a wrong turn do the rest. The GPS leads them off the highway, the phone drops its signal, and the two are stranded in baking red desert with no water and no road back. Director Mike Green skips the usual villain entirely. The threat is the heat, the dehydration, and every bad call they make trying to walk their way out.

Shot across the scorched plains of South Australia, the film lets the landscape do the menacing — vast, beautiful, indifferent to whether they live. Underneath the survival panic runs the wreckage of a romance that barely got started. Worth a watch if 127 Hours is your kind of dread: no creatures, just very real fear.
