The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Three drag performers in flamboyant ball gowns brave the Australian outback in their battered tour bus, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Resplendent in flamboyant ball gowns, looking down over the vast red Australian desert, three showgirls, Tick (Hugo Weaving), Adam (Guy Pearce) and Bernadette (Terence Stamp), are offered a four-week cabaret engagement in Alice Springs. The challenge is simply getting there intact, along with their battered, pink tour bus, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It's not easy being a drag queen in the outback.

They came, they conquered, they looked fabulous!
