Bootmen

Comedy, Drama, 2000

Born charmer Sean Okden gave up tap-dancing when he started working in the steel mill, but as that’s going down the hill he grabs his chance being the only candidate in his coastal Australian home town Newcastle selected for a Sidney show.

Financing their local debut is so expensive, even when the mill allows them free us of its premises -opening some acrobatic perspectives- while even his father won’t allow him to touch his mother’s inheritance for the project, that the ‘Bootmen’ need to steal the cheerleaders’ podium in a televised sports match to get media attention. Sean generously helps his brother when attacked, at the price of their motorbikes, only to learn his assailant Huey and Mitch rival as car (part) thieves, but still allows him into the group - only to see his fatal fall during an attack by Huey’s goons. Even when the mill announces phasing out Sean continues, now as a benefit for the sacked workers’ retraining.
