Plot

It’s the story of two drag queens, Mitzi (Hugo Weaving) and Felicia (Guy Pearce), and a transsexual, Bernadette (Terence Stamp), who decide to take a trip to Alice Springs  on a bus, which they name Priscilla.

The majority of the movie revolves around the trip up to Alice Springs, and the various “accidents” they encounter along the way, like for instance their stopover in Broken Hill in full drag outfits, and their adventures after Priscilla breaks down in the middle of nowhere when they meet Bob (Bill Hunter) and his wife Cynthia (Julia Cortez).

They finally make it to Alice Springs in time for their shows, and for a number of surprises.
