Trailer: 

In a haunting post-apocalyptic Australia, Cargo delivers a gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, and parental love. The story centers on Andy, a father desperately trying to protect his infant daughter, Rosie, in a world ravaged by a devastating pandemic. The infection transforms humans into monstrous, zombie-like creatures within 48 hours of exposure, and Andy’s greatest fear comes true—he gets bitten.

With time running out, Andy must navigate treacherous landscapes and hostile survivors to find someone who can care for Rosie before he succumbs to the virus. His journey takes him through the Australian outback, where danger lurks around every corner. Along the way, Andy forms an unlikely alliance with Thoomi, a young Indigenous girl on her own quest to save her infected father through tribal rituals.

As Andy fights against the clock and his deteriorating condition, Cargo explores the depths of a father’s love, questioning how far one would go to secure their child’s future in the bleakest circumstances. Combining intense suspense with poignant emotion, the film offers a fresh take on the zombie genre, weaving together moments of hope and humanity in the face of despair. Cargo is not just a survival story—it’s a testament to the enduring power of love and sacrifice.
