Premise

Easygoing San Francisco private detective Harry Wingate (Sam Elliott) gets a six-figure offer from millionaire Brutus Cathcart (Max Phipps) to travel to Australia and retrieve Cathcart's prized opal from former Irish Republican Army terrorist sharpshooter Lester McInally (Robert Culp). With the help of an Aborigine rancher (Jack Davis) and revenge-minded widow Kate McQueen (Rebecca Gilling), Wingate battles McInally and his minions, who have taken over an entire outback town.[2]

Cast

gollark: A modern Pentium might be faster than an old i3. They improve the IPC sometimes.
gollark: Well, not *directly*, I presume.
gollark: I run a bunch of containers exclusively under Linux. It works, I guess.
gollark: Why are you worried about containers working in production, exactly?
gollark: I do mostly tend to release code for my stuff, except it's basically entirely useless.
