Heaven’s Burning is a 1997 Road film set in southern Australia. The film focuses on the tragic story of Collin O'Brien (Russell Crowe) who takes a job driving a getaway car during a bank robbery. When the robbery goes horribly wrong, the robbers kidnap Japanese tourist Midori Takada (Youki Kudoh), who’s just run away from her husband during their honeymoon in Australia. After a while, the robbers decide to kill their hostage but Collin, who now sees himself getting dragged into a downward violent spiral, saves her. The two then take off on a journey through the Australian outback making a living by robbing banks, with an unlikely but intense love relationship developing between the two of them. During their journey, they are chased by the police, Midori’s dishonoured husband Yukio Takada (Kenji Isomura) who has turned insane plus members of the Afghan emigrant family who planned the bank robbery.
The following weapons were used in the film Heaven's Burning:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 28
The Smith & Wesson Model 28 revolver is seen used by both Colin (Russell Crowe) and Midori (Youki Kudoh).

M1911A1
During the bank robbery at the beginning of the movie, a M1911A1 is used by one of the Afghan brothers, Gulbuddin (Salvatore Coco).
Springfield Armory Omega
Several characters are using what appears to be the same Springfield Armory Omega. It’s first used during the bank robbery scene by Tony (Patrick Dugin) and the security guard, who may have picked it up when it was dropped by Tony. Later on it’s used by Midori’s husband Yukio (Kenji Isomura) who uses it for the remainder of the movie.
Luger P08
The Afghan Godfather Boorjan (Petru Gheorghiu) keeps a Luger P08 as his personal sidearm.
