Jonathan Hardy, David Stevens, Bruce Beresford were nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay (Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium) at the 1980 Academy Awards. In this clip, Morant (Edward Woodward) and Handcock (Bryan Brown) march to their executions. Their lawyer, Major Thomas (Jack Thompson) lingers in their makeshift cell – which looks to be a stable – to consider the epitaph that Morant has requested: 'And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household’, taken from Matthew 10:36.
