In this Australian film, which uses the 1901 Boer War as its setting, three officers are tried for the revenge execution of Boer prisoners and a German missionary. The film examines the moral responsibilities of military men who are simply following orders. Well worth seeing.

A space ship, "Hunter-Gratzner," is carrying an eclectic group of space travelers when it crash lands on an eerily barren planet. They are marooned, and the only member of the crew to survive is a pilot, Carolyn Fry (Radha Mitchell), who takes charge of the survivors. Out of the 40 people aboard, there are only 10 survivors, and they include a prisoner, Riddick (Vin Diesel), and police officer William J. Johns (Cole Hauser) who is transporting Riddick. Tensions reach new heights when it becomes apparent that lethal creatures prowl by night–stalking aliens. Riddick, who has eyes that can see in darkness, is the only one who can see the creatures, and the survivors realize that they must depend on Riddick if they are to escape the creatures that are eating them, one by one.
