Smash Palace

Smash Palace

1981

Al Shaw (Bruno Lawrence) retires from auto racing to take over his father's garage in rural New Zealand. His cosmopolitan wife, Jacqui (Anna Jemison), is happy that he's no longer risking his life on the Grand Prix circuit, but she quickly becomes bored in their small town. She takes up with a local policeman and announces that she's leaving Al and bringing their daughter, Georgie (Greer Robson), with her. Al, in desperation, decides to kidnap Georgie and head further out into the frontier.
