Ordinary people find extraordinary courage in the face of madness. On 13–14 November 1990 that madness came to Aramoana, a small New Zealand seaside town, in the form of a lone gunman with a high-powered semi-automatic rifle. As he stalked his victims the terrified and confused residents were trapped for 24 hours while a handful of under-resourced and under-armed local policemen risked their lives trying to find him and save the survivors. Based on true events.
Out of the Blue is a 2006 New Zealand drama film based on the true story of the 1990 Aramoana shooting, one of the country's deadliest mass shooting incidents. The film follows ordinary residents and local police as they face a lone gunman over 24 hours of terror in a small seaside town. It's a gripping account of courage and survival during one of New Zealand's darkest days.
