Directed by: Nicolas Roeg
A young sister and brother are abandoned in the harsh Australian outback and must learn to cope in the natural world, without their usual comforts, in this hypnotic masterpiece from Nicolas Roeg. Along the way, they meet an Aboriginal youth on his walkabout, a rite of passage in which adolescent boys are initiated into manhood by journeying into the wilderness alone. Walkabout is a thrilling adventure as well as a provocative rumination on time and civilization.

Release Notes on Restoration
Walkabout is presented in the aspect ratio of 1.85:1 on the 4K Ultra HD disc and 1.78:1 on the Blu-ray. The new digital master on the 4K UHD disc was created from the 35 mm original camera negative, which was scanned in 4K resolution on a Lasergraphics Director Film Scanner. Color correction was based on a high-definition master (made from a 35 mm preservation interpositive), with timing approved by director Nicolas Roeg. The Monaural soundtrack was remastered from the 35 mm optical soundtrack print.
The feature is presented in Dolby Vision HDR (High Dynamic Range) on the 4K UHD disc and high-definition SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) on the Blu-ray.
