Fortress (1986 TV movie)


starring Rachel Ward


IMDB review:


The story is very simple to follow. A young teacher, preparing for a well-deserved hiatus, and her small class of nine students are kidnapped by masked gunmen and taken to the Australian Outback. To this day, years later may I add, the images of those crazed masked men are still vivid in my mind. The underwater scene at the cave was probably one of the most horrifying moments in the entire movie. I remember holding my breath and gasping for air as I sat and watched them struggle to free themselves from captivity. The ending is enough to send chills down ones spine.


TRIVIA:


Loosely based on the 1972 Faraday School kidnapping of a teacher and her class by Edwin John Eastwood and Robert Clyde Boland. Eastwood later escaped from prison and repeated the crime with another teacher and her class in 1977.





Well, when I arrived, there were no answers. *SIGH* I'll go ahead and leave some information since I'm certain this is the one you are looking for.





When this was on cable originally, I must have watched it a dozen times or more, but I don't think I had a VCR yet because I'm sure that I would have taped it. Rachel Ward had just become a ';name'; star as Meggie in ';The Thorn Birds'; TV miniseries, so undoubtedly she helped draw a lot of attention to this movie. I'd love to see it again but haven't seen it on any schedule for many years. Everyone seems to remember the masked men! Maybe they traumatized us.Early 80's horror movie 6-8 mask wearing men terrorizes kids.?
Fortress with Rachel Ward. Ward plays a teacher (I think in Australia?). She and her students are kidnapped by the men in masks.
