Tracks (2013) is a biographical drama film directed John Curran, based on the true story of Robyn Davidson’s remarkable solo trek across the Australian Outback. The movie is an adaptation of the memoir Tracks: A Woman’s Solo Trek Across 1700 Miles of Australian Outback by Robyn Davidson. It follows her 1,700-mile journey with her camels and dog, which she undertook in 1977.

The film begins with Robyn Davidson (played by Mia Wasikowska), a young woman in her mid-20s, who decides to embark on a solo expedition across the Australian desert, a feat that many considered impossible. Motivated by a deep desire for independence and a quest to find meaning in her life, Robyn chooses to make the dangerous journey alone, bringing only a few camels and her dog as companions.

Along the way, she faces the extreme challenges of the desert, including scorching heat, unpredictable weather, scarce resources, and the mental toll of solitude. As Robyn treks through the desolate landscapes, she reflects on her personal struggles and her complex relationship with the people she meets along the way.
