Operation Buffalo(2020)

Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.

Operation Buffalo is an Australian drama set at a remote military base in Maralinga during the Cold War's most tense years. As British nuclear tests unfold in the South Australian outback, paranoia spreads among the personnel stationed there. The series explores how the pressure of classified work and isolation fractures relationships, testing loyalty, love, and trust. Against a backdrop of atomic anxiety and secrecy, the characters navigate personal conflicts that prove as dangerous as the weapons being tested. Themes of betrayal and moral compromise emerge as the base's true cost becomes clear—not just to the landscape, but to the people caught within its grip.
