Last Cab to Darwin (2015)
Directed by Jeremy Sims
Rex is a loner, and when he's told he doesn't have long to live, he embarks on an epic drive through the Australian outback from Broken Hill to Darwin to die on his own terms; but his journey reveals to him that before you can end your life, you have to live it, and to live it, you've got to share it.

What critics compared Last Cab to Darwin to
Six hundred eighty-four miles west of Sydney and hard on the border of South Australia, the picturesque town is also, tangentially, a stone’s throw from the sites used for “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.”
He hears a radio show featuring Dr. Farmer (Jacki Weaver, "Silver Linings Playbook") discussing the machine she's devised for euthanasia, recently made legal on the other side of the continent, and packs his bags and drives 3,000 kilometers in the "Last Cab to Darwin."
He’s only got a few months left, it seems, and he’s heard about a death-with-dignity doctor (Jacki Weaver, from “Silver Linings Playbook”) campaigning for assisted suicide.
