A fresh-faced Mel Gibson, in his first role after Gallipoli and Mad Max 2, commands an elite military team dispatched during WW II to locate and rescue the survivors of a crashed plane shot down over a South Pacific island occupied by the Japanese. One of the castaways, a defecting Japanese official, holds the secret to ending the war, and must be saved at all costs.
Set in the Sambalang Straights in the South Pacific, this fast-paced action thriller in the tradition of The Guns of Navarone, boasts a top-notch cast including Gibson, Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, The Dish), John Phillip Law (Barbarella) and John Waters (Breaker Morant). Made in 1981 and shot in Taiwan, Attack Force Z appeared at the Cannes Film Festival (1981), while the original director, Phillip Noyce (The Quiet American), was replaced by Tim Burstall (Alvin Purple) shortly before production began.
