Utu (film)
Utu is a 1983 New Zealand movie directed by Geoff Murphy. It starred Anzac Wallace. Utu was reputed to have one of the largest budgets for a New Zealand film at the time. The film was screened out of competition at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.
Loosely based on events from Te Kooti's War, it tells of a Māori soldier's desire for utu, or vengeance, on his former allies after the British army destroys his home village and kills his uncle. The film is set in the 1870s.
