The Overlanders (sh. Goniči stoke na duge staze) je britansko-australijski crno-bijeli igrani film snimljen 1946. godine u režiji Harryja Watta. Radnja se odvija tokom Drugog svjetskog rata, odnosno 1942. godine, kada je australijska vlada, kako bi preduhitrila moguću japansku invaziju, organizirala veliki transport stoke iz Zapadne Australije preko outbacka na pašnjake u Queenslandu. Radnja prati pustolovine goniča stoke koji se tokom mukotrpnog i opasnog putovanja suočavaju sa vrućinom, žegom, krokodilima i drugim opasnostima. Snimanje je počelo još za vrijeme samog rata, a poticaj je dala australijska vlada, koja je izrazila želju da britanski filmski studiji naprave film koji bi prikazao australijski doprinos savezničkom ratnom naporu; britansko Ministarstvo informacija je projekt proslijedilo studiju Ealing. On je poslao Watta, koji je kao predratni dopisnik dobro poznavao Australiju, te sa sobom doveo filmsku ekipu. Kao glumce je koristio isključivo domaće osoblje. Film je postigao komercijalni uspjeh te potakao Ealing da napravi još nekoliko filmova na lokacijama u Australiji, a što je predstavljao poticaj daljem razvoju australijske kinematografije.
