Reckless in Australia
18 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It sounds like a tagline for a dating site like "Sleepless in Seattle." It could be. There was an adolescent romance to contend with between main character, Cody (Henry Thomas), and Wendy (Rachel Friend). That puppy love saved Cody's life.

Cody was an extremely reckless kid that finally did a stunt that should have spelled the death of him, but you know... writers. In his search for a "dungajin" (I'm sure I'm not spelling that right) he got himself trapped underwater. Notice how I said, "trapped underwater" and not drowned. That's because he miraculously found a pocket of air beneath some old mining equipment underwater. To complete the miracle his girlfriend/deus ex machina used some nebulous clues to come to the conclusion that he was still alive underwater though just moments earlier she was screaming how he was dead.

Henry Thomas I liked you better as Elliott.
