Film Description
Famous for being the first ever colour film to be made in New Zealand, Rank's 1954 adventure drama The Seekers is overflowing with beautiful scenery, colour and set pieces.
The year is 1821 and adventuring seafarers Philip Wayne (Jack Hawkins) and Paddy Clarke (Noel Purcell) have set ashore to explore the Bay of Plenty. Stumbling upon a Maori burial cave, they are captured and sentenced to death by the Maori for desecrating the resting place of their ancestors. However, Wayne’s prowess impresses the Māori chief, Hongi Tepe (Inia Te Wiata), and he offers Wayne a chance to save his life by enduring a trial by challenge. He manages to win his freedom but his journey back to England is troublesome, and with tension mounting between the Maoris and the British, the situation is about to get worse.
