AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In 1989, director Gary Keady made what is perhaps Australia’s only sci-fi musical with Sons of Steel.

'For thirty years, the futuristic Australian heavy metal odyssey Sons Of Steel seemed relegated to the lower circles of cinema’s purgatory. But the defiant story of cocksure heavy metal frontman Black Alice, who is inadvertently sent on a tour-of-duty through time to save Sydney from nuclear holocaust, is finally gaining traction and threatening to become the cult film that it always deserved to be.'
