In the mountainous high country above the Australian bush, wild horses run free: Australians call them wild "brumbies." Author Elyne Mitchell's book, The Silver Brumby, on which this movie is based, is about a magnificent silver stallion, Thowra. The story opens on a dark and stormy night in the high country. Elyne (Caroline Goodall), spins a tale to comfort her daughter, Indi (Ami Daemion). The beautiful mare, Bell-Bell, gives birth to Thowra, an exceptional cream-colored foal, with a mane and tail that gleam silver in the moonlight. We see Thowra grow up through several seasons. Winter has its hardships; the herds of horses find survival difficult in the snow-packed mountains. But summer may be even more dangerous, for that's when men return to the high country to try to catch the brumbies and cruelly break them of their wildness. For one man (called simply "The Man" in Elyne's story), capturing Thowra, now king of all the brumbies, becomes an obsession. The Man is played by Russell Crowe, whose usual fine acting is enhanced here by impressive horsemanship. The struggle between Thowra and The Man takes on mythic proportions, building to a haunting climax. Gorgeous footage of wild horses running and rearing in the mountains make this the perfect movie for horse-lovers of all ages. We come to care deeply about the fate of these splendid creatures, whose wisdom and passion are rivaled only by their beauty. --Laura Mirsky

Could not get past the first 15 minutes of this movie. It is just bad. Enough said.
Rating:  -
This movie is somewhat different in that the writer takes you back and forth between the real and the imaginary leaving you wondering sometimes as to which is which. It is a delightful story that shares the love between a mother and daughter. It is also fun because the story is told from the perspective of the horse instead of a person.
Rating: -
A thoroughly pleasing adventurous and exciting romp through the Australian countryside, with some extra scenery provided by Russell Crowe. The horses are gorgeous and the equine scenes are accurate and enjoyable.

Bought this for my 4 yr old son that loves... horses. It is very dark - and for him it was hard to understand. I thought the production of it was bad. I was just really disappointed.
Rating: -
Sorry but I was not impressed with this movie. I thought there would be more beautiful scenery. Maybe Snowy River just spoilt me. That had the scenery. I felt it was a little dull. It was not an entire waste of time and for those who like a quiet movie it might be okay but I would not view it again.
