Force of Nature: The Dry 2 (2024)

Force of Nature: The Dry 2 (2024), titled simply Force of Nature on screen in some territories, is an Australian mystery thriller film that serves as a sequel to the 2020 film The Dry. Both films are based on novels by Jane Harper and directed by Robert Connolly, with Eric Bana reprising his role as Federal Agent Aaron Falk. The plot follows Falk and his partner, Agent Carmen Cooper (Jacqueline McKenzie), as they investigate the disappearance of a woman, Alice Russell (Anna Torv), who was acting as an informant in their investigation into financial crimes at a corporate company. Alice disappears during a five-woman hiking retreat in the dense, wet, and often unforgiving Giralang Ranges of the Victorian mountains. Only four women—Jill, Lauren, and sisters Beth and Bree—emerge from the rainforest, all telling different and cagey versions of what happened to Alice during the disastrous hike. The investigation proceeds by questioning the surviving women and using flashbacks to piece together the events of the retreat. For Falk, the case holds a personal connection as his own mother disappeared years ago in the same remote, mountainous area when he was a child, triggering related flashbacks throughout the film. The movie explores themes of friendship, betrayal, and the harsh demands of the natural environment. The film was released in Australia on February 8, 2024, and in the US on May 10, 2024. Read More
