Thou Shalt Not Steal (2024) is an Australian black comedy featuring the escape from youth detention of 17-year-old Aboriginal protagonist Robyn (Sherry-Lee Watson) who declares as she leaves:

“Them missionaries reckon thou shalt not steal. Bit rich from the Bible-bashing bastards that stole our country!”

Robyn teams up with Gidge (Will McDonald), the son of unscrupulous bible-bashing Robert (Noah Taylor) and the pair go in search for the father Robyn has never met.

Robyn and Gidge are chased from Alice Springs to Adelaide by Robert and Maxine (Miranda Otto), a former sex worker turned cabbie & drug dealer.

“Thou Shalt Not Steal has future classic written all over it” writes Luke Buckmaster in The Guardian (17 October 2024).
