The Last Outlaw tells the true story of Australia's most famous highwayman, Ned Kelly. Attention is paid to his youth and his time with his teacher Harry Power. This led to the formation of the Kelly Gang, the shootout at Stringybark Creek, all manner of robberies, and the years he was on the run. Finally came the absolute climax: the siege of Glenrowan, with the ensuing trial and its inevitable fate.
