Set in the harsh and unforgiving Australian outback of the 1880s, 'The Proposition' follows the story of the Burns brothers, notorious outlaws. After a brutal crime spree, Captain Stanley captures two of the brothers and offers a grim ultimatum: Charlie Burns must kill his older brother Arthur, the gang's leader, to save his younger brother from execution. The film explores themes of loyalty, revenge, and the moral complexities of justice in a lawless land.
