The Water Diviner is a 2014 Australian historical drama that marked the feature film directorial debut of Russell Crowe. The film's setting takes place in 1919, as Joshua Connor (portrayed by Crowe), an Australian farmer, begins a search for his three sons, all of whom went missing following the horrific battle at Gallipolli, Turkey in 1915. As the story progresses, Crowe gets involved with the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-1922. The film's cast also includes Olga Kurylenko, Jai Courtney, Cem Yilmaz and Yilmaz Erdogan.
The following weapons were used in the film The Water Diviner:
The Commonwealth troops in Istanbul carries mockup Mk.III's. They are easily spotted due to the bolt handle being too far forward and the generally bulky appearence of the weapon.
