Top 10 movies set in Australia's creepy outback

Netflix's Apex is a top streaming hit of the year, with 2.54 billion minutes watched and a peak at number one on the Global Top 10 English movies list. The action thriller stars Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana, and is set in the Australian outback. Director Baltasar Kormákur explained that the film was originally set in the U.S. in the script, but they chose Australia for its unique nature and warm climate.

Apex tells the story of a grieving woman seeking solace in the wilderness, only to become entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a serial killer.
