Fair Game

Jessica Cassandra Delaney runs a wildlife sanctuary in the Outback and uncovers a troubling illegal activity: hunters shooting kangaroos on her land to supply pet food companies. As she drives into town, she is menaced by their vehicles, a transport van and a modified Ford F100. One hunter, Ringo [David Sandford], climbs onto her car as the windscreen shatters, and she immediately reports the incident to the police, who are reluctant to act without solid evidence. The encounter leaves her shaken but determined to protect her sanctuary and the creatures under her care.

In town, she crosses paths with Sunny [Peter Ford], the leader of the hunters, in the local store. He comes across as affable and even buys one of her paintings, yet he refuses to acknowledge that anything is wrong. As she leaves, Ringo attempts to take upskirt photos of her, but she doesn’t back down, publicly putting him in his place and asserting her boundary.

The tension escalates when Jessica finds a Polaroid of her sleeping naked pinned to her fridge, a clear sign that Ringo has broken into her home. She heads to visit friends the Taylors, where she discovers Ringo and his ally Sparks [Garry Who] using her painting as target practice. At Sunny’s invitation, she borrows their rifle and uses it to destroy Ringo’s camera, a small act of defiance that only fuels the conflict.

Retaliation quickly follows. The hunters ram her car off the road and give chase on foot through the vast outback. She evades them but loses her dog Kyla in the pursuit. When she returns to her house on foot, she finds her car returned to its broken-down state with a dead kangaroo left in the front seat, a cruel reminder of their reach and the stakes involved.

That night, the hunters torment her horse Frankie and threaten her directly when she intervenes, amplifying the sense of danger surrounding the sanctuary. After hearing gunfire throughout the night, Jessica quietly infiltrates their camp and welds their hunting rifles together, rendering them useless and cutting off their ability to sustain the hunt.

The situation grows increasingly violent as the hunters converge on her property, blasting the house with their remaining weapons, destroying outbuildings, and killing many of the sanctuary’s animals. In a brutal display of power, they strip Jessica of her clothes, tie her to the front of the F100, and drive around the bush to “even the score,” a phrase Sunny uses to justify their actions.

In a bold counterstrike, Jessica steals the hunters’ transport van and overturns it with Sparks inside, who survives the crash. She then uses her ingenuity and courage to lure Ringo onto his motorcycle and drive him into a canyon, though he narrowly escapes a similar fate as the vehicle is destroyed. Riding Frankie, she draws the remaining hunters into a cave and blocks them in with a rockslide, but Ringo shoots Frankie as she rides away, complicating her pursuit.

The hunters manage to escape the initial trap, but Jessica’s more permanent defenses take their toll. They destroy her house, yet she has prepared traps around the property, and the deadly consequences begin to mount: Ringo is electrocuted, and Sparks impales himself on an exposed anvil. The climactic confrontation arrives when Sunny drives the F100 into a pit trap, and Jessica ends the threat by dousing him with a Molotov cocktail and burning him alive.

In the aftermath, the landscape bears the scars of the conflict, but Jessica is reunited with Kyla, who arrives limping but alive, offering a quiet moment of relief amidst the ruin and a renewed sense of resolve to safeguard the sanctuary she has fought so hard to defend.
