Design & Features: Illustrated composition featuring Tom Laughlin as Billy Jack in his signature hat, surrounded by montage scenes of protest, community, and conflict, set against a desert landscape. Dominant tones of yellow, red, and sky blue convey both warmth and tension, with bold block typography framing the film’s moral message.

Collectors’ Note: The Trial of Billy Jack is part of the influential independent film series that became emblematic of early 1970s American counterculture, touching on themes of justice, pacifism, and Native American identity. Australian daybills for this title are less common than U.S. one-sheets and remain valued among collectors for their strong composition and Roadshow/Warner Bros. dual-branding — a hallmark of Australian distribution of the era.
