JOHN THE REVELATOR
In the storm-lashed depths of Far North Queensland, Australia, shadows of unbreakable bonds and simmering vendettas weave through untamed rainforests, thundering motorcycles, and hidden criminal undercurrents. Drawing from the enigma of the unsolved 1973 Kuranda Train Robbery, this thriller plunges into the lives of Vietnam-scarred veterans turned outlaw riders, where loyalty is tested, secrets unravel, and redemption lurks just beyond the next hairpin turn. Brace for a ride that pulses with raw intensity, blurring the lines between ally and enemy in a world where every rev hides a revelation.
This cinematic tempest melds gritty survival with pulse-racing suspense, like Mad Max shrouded in Deer Hunter fog, leaving you craving the thrill of what's left unsaid.

Filmed across the region’s distinctive landscapes — including rainforests, rugged terrain, and historic towns with preserved streetscapes — these locations form an integral part of the film’s visual identity, grounding the narrative in a strong sense of place and history.
John the Revelator combines a dramatic exploration of history and rebellion with themes that resonate across local and international audiences. The project continues to progress through industry engagement and development pathways, with the objective of showcasing Cairns on a global stage and delivering a distinctive cinematic experience.
