Rogue
While doing his latest piece, cynical American travel writer Pete McKell (Michael Vartan) joins a group of tourists on a river cruise in the Australian Outback. He is immediately drawn to the feisty female tour captain Kate Ryan (Radha Mitchell), though she seems to regard him as a bit of a yuppie. After a run-in with two of the locals, Neil (Sam Worthington) and Colin, the cruise winds to a close, and Kate prepares to take the group back to shore.
When one of the passengers suddenly sees a flare shoot up into the sky, Kate believes it came from another tour boat up river, and persuades the group that they must go and offer assistance. A few miles up river, they come across the sinking remains of a dinghy, but no survivors. When something crashes into the bottom of the boat, causing water to gush in through a leak, Kate has no choice but to head for the nearest land - a small island in the middle of the river. As the group bickers about how they're going to get home, one of the tourists is suddenly pulled into the water by an unseen predator. With darkness approaching, everyone soon comes to the realisation that so is the tide. In a matter of hours, they'll be completely submerged.
With Michael Vartan, Radha Mitchell, Stephen Curry and John Jarratt.
