Set in the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land (present-day Tasmania, Australia) in 1825, The Nightingale follows a young Irish convict, Clare Carroll. With the help of an Aboriginal tracker named Billy, Clare looks to take revenge for the terrible acts carried out against her and her family by British Army officers.

The movie was given positive reviews for its performances, atmosphere, cinematography, screenplay, scope and acknowledgement of racial violence in Australia. However, there was some controversy due to its scenes that include violence and rape.
