Rush (2008) - Series 1 (4 Disc Set)

Rush follows the actions of a critical response police unit. They are trained to be smarter, tactically superior and technologically advanced. This is an insider's view of police under pressure - defusing crises, saving lives and preventing crimes before they are commited. Enter the Tactical Response team.

Fast and courageous, they are a group of highly trained young cops, working as a 24 hour mobile team. They are trained in counter terrorism, advanced weaponry, explosives, bush survival, hand to hand combat, and navigation, as well as the psychology of negotiation in hostage situations.

A fledgling organisation, they are still on probation. The hierarchy is keeping a close eye on this modern police experiment. They know they are under the microscope and any major slip up could jeopardise the team.

This is unprecedented territory for Australian drama, a police series with gritty, international flavour. It is impeccably acted, clever and powerful. With an incredible production team responsible for some of the biggest and best local drama over the past decade (The Secret Life Of Us, Love My Way), Rush is a fast paced punch in the face for Australian television.
