description These Final Hours Overview
With a global firestorm approaching Western Australia, a man sets out to spend his remaining time at a party. His plan changes when he rescues a young girl searching for her father. Nathan Phillips and Angourie Rice lead These Final Hours, a 2013 Australian apocalyptic thriller written and directed by Zak Hilditch. Their uneasy partnership turns a journey through public chaos into a question of responsibility at the end of life.
The disaster cannot be prevented, so the drama concerns how people behave when a future is no longer available. The man's initial self-interest clashes with the girl's need for help, giving the film a more personal focus than an escape mission or a scientific rescue effort. Its violence and emotional weight suit viewers interested in difficult moral choices within apocalyptic stories. The film was selected for the Directors' Fortnight section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
