A high-speed survival thriller is revving up for release as Badland Rising prepares to hit VOD on June 12, 2026, courtesy of Saban Films.
Directed by Blair Moore, the film follows Dave, a former soldier turned construction worker trying to save his family’s farm and return home to his wife and son. But what should be a simple journey turns into a nightmare when he’s caught in the aftermath of a botched mob robbery. In the chaos, Dave unknowingly takes a bag of stolen cash – instantly making him the target of ruthless criminals.
What unfolds is a relentless 19-hour chase across Australia, filmed on the Gold Coast, as Dave fights to stay alive and make it back to his family. With danger closing in and no one to trust, the former SAS sniper must rely on his instincts and training to outlast his pursuers.
The film stars Jake Ryan, Nathan Phillips, Steve Mouzakis, and Robert Rabiah.
After premiering at the Brisbane Film Festival, Badland Rising promises a gritty, no-frills action ride packed with tension, loyalty, and explosive confrontations.
