# The Plumber (1979)

1979 · 76 min · Comedy, Thriller · Australia


## Synopsis

The Plumber is a 1979 Australian psychological thriller film about a psychotic plumber who terrorizes a grad student. Written and directed by Peter Weir, The Plumber was originally made and broadcast as a television film in Australia in 1979 but was subsequently released to theatres in several countries beginning with the United States in 1981. The film was made shortly after Weir's critically acclaimed Picnic at Hanging Rock became one of the first Australian films to appeal to an international audience. The film stars Judy Morris, Ivar Kants, Candy Raymond, and Robert Coleby, all of them being most notable at the time as actors in Australian soap operas.
