Rent The Seekers (1954)


Famous for being the first ever colour film to be made in New Zealand, this Rank 1954 feature is overflowing with beautiful scenery, colour and set pieces. It is 1821 and adventuring seafarer Philip Wayne and Paddy Clarke have set ashore to explore the Bay of Plenty. Stumbling upon a Maori burial cave, they are captured and sentenced to death by the Maori for desecrating the resting place of their ancestors. Wayne's prowess impresses the Maori chief, Hongi Tepe , and he offers Wayne a chance to save his life by enduring a trial by challenge. When Wayne succeeds the chief adopts him as his honorary son, but Wayne has to return to his ship and back to England. When skullduggery breaks out on board ship, Wayne finds himself at the mercy of the British authorities and decides to return to the Pacific with his new wife Marion and a crew that includes the sexually charged Wishart. With a tense standoff emerging between the indigenous Maoris and the colonial British, the situation rises to boiling point when the beautiful Maori girl Maona rejects the advances of Wishar
