Te Wheke, a scout for the colonial troops in 1870’s New Zealand, finds his tribe massacred by the army he is working for. Anguished and betrayed, he vows to exact retribution – utu on the Pakeha.

In 1983 UTU was the first New Zealand film to be invited into Official Selection (out of competition) at Cannes.

This digitally remastered update of Geoff Murphy’s 1983 “New Zealand Western” was enhanced and restored for cinema 30 years after its initial release.
