Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010)

In the serene coastal town of Wirrawee, nestled within Australia's heartland, a group of seven teenage friends embark on a final holiday adventure before the looming return to school. Ellie Linton, a spirited 17-year-old and her close-knit group of friends, seek solace in a secluded paradise ironically named Hell, armed with a Land Rover and a thirst for adventure. Amid the idyllic waterfall dips and sun-soaked afternoons, their tranquility is shattered by the unexpected sight of unidentified jets slicing through the night sky. Upon their return to Wirrawee, the teens find their once bustling town eerily silent, devoid of its usual vibrancy. The once familiar terrain has turned alien, with the entire population mysteriously vanished, the power severed, and a chilling sense of dread lingering in the air. The horrifying truth soon unveils itself when they stumble upon a makeshift prison camp at the local showgrounds, where their friends, families, and neighbors are held captive by an invading military force. With a war they never saw coming turning their world upside down, these ordinary teenagers find themselves tossed into extraordinary circumstances. Bereft of any formal training but armed with an unwavering spirit, Ellie and her friends rise to the challenge, vowing to take back their country. Faced with an unthinkable reality, they unite against the all-consuming darkness, igniting an audacious fight for their freedom, their home, and their future. Tomorrow, When The War Began is a compelling tale of courage, camaraderie, and resistance, portraying an unyielding spirit of defiance against overwhelming odds.
