Exterior location filming took place primarily in the mining town of Coober Pedy, with the set for Bartertown built at an old brickworks (the Brickpit) at Homebush Bay in Sydney's western suburbs and the children's camp shot at the Blue Mountains. The film contains two songs performed by Tina Turner, "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" and "One of the Living". We Don’t Need Another Hero won a Grammy for Best Rock Vocal. Critically it received positive reviews.
