Wake in Fright is a 1971 psychological horror thriller directed by Ted Kotcheff. The film follows John Grant (Gary Bond), a schoolteacher from Sydney who finds himself stranded in the isolated mining town of Bundanyabba, New South Wales. With no money and no way out, he quickly falls into the seedy underworld of the town, becoming part of a group of rowdy miners who take him gambling and drinking. As he loses more and more money, John begins to spiral into a state of self-destructive despair, becoming increasingly desperate and increasingly vulnerable to the town's sinister influence. The film explores themes of alienation, moral degradation, and the power of fear and paranoia to drive people to their own destruction.
