You can stream Walkabout (1971) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

Under the pretense of having a picnic, a geologist takes his teenage daughter and 6-year-old son into the Australian outback and attempts to shoot them. When he fails, he turns the gun on himself, and the two city-bred children must contend with harsh wilderness alone. They are saved by a chance encounter with an Aboriginal boy who shows them how to survive, and in the process underscores the disharmony between nature and modern life.

The vast, sun-scorched Australian Outback transforms from a scenic backdrop into a lethal labyrinth for two abandoned siblings. Survival hinges on their ability to unlearn civilized habits and embrace the primal rhythms of the bush.
