Hongi, a Maori chieftain’s teenage son, must avenge his father’s murder in order to bring peace and honour to the souls of his loved ones after his tribe is slaughtered through an act of treachery. Vastly outnumbered by a band of villains led by Wirepa, Hongi’s only hope is to pass through the feared and forbidden “Dead Lands” and forge an uneasy alliance with a mysterious warrior, a ruthless fighter who has ruled the area for years.

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gritty, visceral revenge tale set in pre-colonial Aotearoa that blends coming-of-age stakes with the brutal realities of tribal warfare. Hongi's journey through hostile territory carries both the weight of grief and the defiant energy of a young warrior learning what survival demands.
