Te Wheke (Anzac Wallace), a Maori tribesman serving in the British Army, returns home to find his village and family destroyed in a senseless raid by English settlers. He vows Utu - the ritual revenge demanded by his culture. One of New Zealand`s first critical and commercial successes, UTU was originally released in a truncated version that was devoid of a few battle scenes deemed too violent by censors.
