The daily lives of five very special individuals who are among the thousands of citizens nominated for the prestigious title of Australian of the Year.

Based on the infamous Great Emu War of 1932, THE EMU WAR follows a rag tag platoon of soldiers who are driven into a brutal and bloody battle against Australia's deadliest flightless beasts. Haunted by the kidnapping of his son at the hands of the Emus, Major Meredith leads the platoon behind enemy lines in order to kill the emus Leader the Queen Emu.

The story of five unique Australians who have been nominated for the Australian of the Year Award. Phil, a rescue hero who saved nine children in a jumping castle accident. Ricky, a Chinese physics genius and aspiring actor. Ja’mie, a charity-minded schoolgirl who sponsors 85 Sudanese children. Daniel and Nathan, hearing impaired teenage twin farm boys embarking on a world first eardrum transplant. And Pat, a disabled suburban housewife turned elite athlete.

This raunchy spoof of women's prison films with a star studded cast was filmed in front of a live audience at Hollywood’s iconic Montalban Theater.
