The Tomorrow When the War Began movie is based mostly on the book of the identical name, penned by well-known Australian author, John Marsden. This book has sold over 2 million copies in Australia and New Zealand and has a substantial fan base of mostly teenage readers. Though it seems a good number of their parents have read and appreciated the book as well.
The scriptwriter Stuart Beattie who wrote the screenplays for "Pirates of the Caribbean; The Curse of the Black Pearl" and "Australia" motion pictures has used the book to write a movie for the big screen. Beattie is also directing the Tomorrow When The War Began picture, which will be his first experience as the director of a motion picture.
Well known young Australian actors, known for their various roles in Australian TV and film productions, make up the bulk of the cast
The story starts with a group of teenagers who live in a country town called Wirawee, who decide to go on a camping trip to a remote area of bush called "Hell" in the last week of the school holidays. While they're away, they will be missing the town's annual Commemorative Day celebrations at the local showground, so when they observe airplanes and jets flying overhead at their camp ground, they think nothing of it. They assume it's just a part of the celebrations.
When they arrive back home from their camping trip, they are distraught to find their homes have been abandoned by their families and their animals have been left to die from starvation. Then they realise they can't phone reception for their mobile phones and that there's no electrical power.
The teens are perplexed as to what could have happened to their families so sensing some kind of danger, they decide to wait around til it's dark and then go into town to see if they can discover anything. Risking their own safety, they soon discover what has occurred; the town has been invaded by an unknown enemy force that is holding their loved ones captive at the local showground
The story then continues on to show the teenagers doing what they can to wreck chaos on the enemy force using guerrilla tactics to try to free their loved ones and towns people. There's lots of action and adventure in this motion picture; and a bit of romance, as we watch the adolescents struggle against enormous odds to try and thwart the enemy forces and survive the bizarre scenario they find themselves in.
