Crocodile Dundee is a 1986 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Peter Faiman and starring Paul Hogan as the namesake character and American actress Linda Kozlowski as reporter Sue Charlton. Inspired by the true-life exploits of Rod Ansell, the film was made on a budget of under $10 million as a deliberate attempt to make a commercial Australian film that would appeal to a mainstream American audience, but it proved to be a worldwide phenomenon.
