"From 1956, over a period of seven years, the Brits detonated seven nuclear bombs in South Australia, one of them was double the power of the Hiroshima bomb, which killed almost 150,000 directly and indirectly. Operation Buffalo is the fictionalisation of the first bomb test at Maralinga and all the farcical political posturing and pressure surrounding it. Major Leo Carmichael (Ewen Leslie) is the second-in-command at the Maralinga base, an engineer tasked to build the towers from which the bombs are dropped. He's a WWII war hero and effectively runs the base with the Commandant, General Crankford (James Cromwell), too whimsical to really be in charge. When Leo is told the first test has been moved up to accommodate the British Ambassador's schedule, he faces challenges on multiple fronts with a missing prostitute, publicity-mad politicians, the arrival of a new meteorologist (Jessica De Gouw) and an Indigenous family who government policy says officially doesn't exist."
