Tödliches Angebot (The Proposition)

In the dusty Australian outback of the 19th century, a brutal murder puts the fragile order of a frontier settlement to the test. Captain Stanley offers the notorious outlaw Charlie Burns a cruel bargain: he must kill his older brother Arthur before he can carry out another massacre. Amid the scorching heat, relentless violence, and profound moral dilemmas, a dark Western unfolds—an exploration of guilt, loyalty, and justice.

The Proposition combines striking cinematography with a raw, haunting atmosphere and is widely regarded as a modern classic of Australian cinema—uncompromising, intense, and deeply unsettling.
