Breaker Morant is a 1980 Australian war drama film on the court martial of lieutenants Harry "Breaker" Morant (1864-1902), Peter Handcock (1868-1902) and George Witton (1874-1942)—one of the first war crime prosecutions in British military history.
It was the first film from Frank Shields. He says he was inspired to make it after visiting Breaker Morant's grave. He was unable to get finance from the funding bodies so made it himself for $7,000. He researched it in Australia, wrote and shot it in Zimbabwe, and did the post production in London. Shields later recalled:
It follows in the wake of other Australian New Wave war films such as Breaker Morant (1980), Gallipoli (1981), and the 5-part TV series Anzacs (1985). Recurring themes of these films include the Australian identity, such as mateship and larrikinism , the loss of innocence in war, and also the continued coming of age of the Australian nation and its soldiers (the Anzac spirit ).
Breaker Morant sigue siendo la película con la que Beresford se identifica más y ha "elevado las imágenes de los oficiales acusados al nivel de iconos y mártires australianos". En una entrevista de 1999, Beresford explicó que Breaker Morant "nunca pretendió ni por un momento" que los acusados no eran culpables de los cargos.
