Erskineville Kings is a 1999 Australian drama film directed and produced by Alan White.

The film begins with Barky's arrival at Central station at dawn, seeking the whereabouts of his brother, Wace (Hugh Jackman).

We learn from flashbacks that he left home two years ago to escape the clutches of his father's violent rages.

Wace, the older brother, is not too happy about Barky's prolonged absence, having been left to manage looking after the father in his last years of life.

After walking through the streets he finds an old mate of his, Wayne (Joel Edgerton), who informs him of the location of his brother.
