Spider and Rose is a 1994 Australian film directed by Bill Bennett and starring Ruth Cracknell, Simon Bossell, and Max Cullen.

[3] An ambulance driver, Spider, 22, has to take a seventy year old woman, Rose on a six hour trip to her family farm.

Bennett claimed he wanted to make something "a bit more mainstream" than his earlier films.

He was also inspired by having been in a several car crash himself in the 1970s which gave him a great appreciation for ambulance drivers.

[5] David Stratton of Variety wrote "On paper, the idea of an odd-couple generation-gap road movie hardly seems promising, so it's a minor miracle that writer/director Bill Bennett has managed to inject life into such familiar material.
