Alice to Nowhere

A nurse who has been hired to staff a remote outpost in the Australian outback unwittingly carries a stash of jewels taken in a foiled robbery. The robbers track her to the outback, and are determined to let nothing—and no one—get in the way of them retrieving their loot.

Directed by —, Alice to Nowhere leans on a strong ensemble — John Waters, Rosey Jones — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1986.
