Netflix’s new action hit Apex is dominating global charts, thanks in large part to its stunning Australian outback setting — a choice the director says was far more evocative than any U.S. location.

Whether it’s a beastly pig or a lone traveler facing their demons, the land itself becomes an unforgettable force — proving why filmmakers keep returning to this untamed frontier.
