Australian conspiracy thriller “The Code” released on DVD

The six-part political thriller is available on DVD box set and digital download.

Arrow Films are set to release a DVD and digital download release of the acclaimed Australian political conspiracy thriller “THE CODE”.

The series is based around internet journalist Ned Banks (Dan Spielman, One Perfect Day) and his brother, the troubled hacker Jesse Banks (Ashley Zukerman, Terra Nova) who are gifted a poisoned chalice when a phone video of a deadly outback accident arrives in their inbox.

Their decision to dig deeper drags the brothers into the darkest heart of politics. Together, with the help of Alex Wisham (Lucy Lawless, Xena: Warrior Princess) and Perry Benson (Adam Garcia, Coyote Ugly) they suddenly become the unlikeliest crusaders for democracy.

Stretching from the spectacular red desert of Australia’s outback to the cool corridors of power in Canberra, THE CODE tells the story of two very different brothers who unearth information those at the highest levels of political power will kill to keep secret.

The series has already received critical acclaim from a variety of different outlets:

“What links a car crash in the outback with a governments fall from grace?  Play join the dots – and enjoy the stunning cinematography in this gripping Australian conspiracy thriller.” – Radio Times.

“A welcome non-nonsense, swift moving return to real mystery and menace… it’s enjoyable and unpretentious.”  – The Financial Times

“An Australian conspiracy thriller of interweaving plotlines, The Code is a stylish drama with substance.” – The Guardian

Carrying on the BBC Four Television’s Saturday evening prime time foreign dramas which includes The Killing, The Bridge and Borgen, THE CODE takes a contemporary approach to the usually subtitled, period set pieces. Partly set amongst the big sky’s and red earth of Australia’s rugged outback, THE CODE also leads you to the grand glass Canberra cityscapes in the heart of a corrupt political office:

EPISODE ONE
When Ned and Jesse Banks publish a video of a mysterious accident in the outback involving two teenagers and a truck from a highly classified research facility, they face the full weight of a political machine desperate to keep the truth off the front pages.

EPISODE TWO
As Ned investigates the truck accident in the remote town of Lindara, Jesse comes face to face with the ‘extraordinary’ new powers of the law.

EPISODE THREE
Wracked by guilt that Jesse has paid such a high price for trying to help his investigation – Ned fears the worst when he discovers Jesse missing.

EPISODE FOUR
Ned and Jesse are on the run, and running out of options. Their house has been ransacked, their phones bugged, their every computer stroke tracked. Nowhere to hide, no one to turn to… No choice but to hunt down the truth in Lindara in the hope that it will save them.

EPISODE FIVE
Ned and Jesse are forced into an impossible choice – Hani’s life in exchange for technology capable of wiping out entire cities from the face of the earth.

EPISODE SIX
Unless Ned and Jesse take action, their fates will be sealed, their story repackaged and the truth will remain neatly beneath the radar. It’s time to do something radical.

The six-part political thriller stars Lucy Lawless, Dan Spielman, Ashley Zukerman and Adam Garcia.

The series is available to buy on DVD on Monday November 3^rd and each episode is also available via digital download the morning after its transmission.
