Taken from www.nedkellythemovie.com:
Ned Kelly's exact birthdate is not known. He was born around 1855 in Beveridge, a small town north of Melbourne. His parents were Irish Catholic immigrants, and his father was an ex-convict. The Kelly family moved to the north-east Victorian hamlet of Greta where Ned attended school until age 11, when his father died.
Three years later, he had his first run-in with the law. Kelly was accused of assault and held for 10 days, but charges were dismissed. One year later, in 1870, he was again arrested, this time accused of being an accomplice to bushranger Harry Power. Again, charges were dropped. Still in his teens, Kelly had already developed a strong resentment towards authority, and authority had begun to resent him. Later that year, he was again charged with assault, and sentenced to six months jail. The following year, he was charged with receiving a stolen horse, though he claimed the horse belonged to his friend Isaiah "Wild" Wright. Kelly was sentenced to three years gaol in Melbourne's notorious Pentridge prison.
After his release, Ned allegedly kept stealing horses. A trooper called Alexander
Fitzpatrick arrived at the Kelly home with a warrant for Ned's arrest. What happened next is subject to debate. The trooper claimed that Ned came home and shot him. The Kellys, however, maintained the trooper had behaved inappropriately towards Ned's sister Kate. His brother Dan scuffled with the policeman, and a gun went off in the process.
As a consequence of this incident, troopers were sent to arrest the Kelly boys. They disappeared into the bush, but others were arrested, including their mother who was sentenced to three years in prison. The government posted a £100 reward for the apprehension of either Kelly, and the pair became outlaws. They were soon joined by old friends, including Joe Byrne and Steve Hart. Four troopers set out to capture the gang at Stringybark Creek, but the gang ambushed them. Three of the troopers were killed in the ensuing gun fight: Sergeant Kennedy, Constable Scanlon and Constable Lonigan. The fourth policeman, Constable McIntyre, escaped. Following the killings, the government increased the reward to £500, this time dead or alive.
The Kelly Gang responded by audaciously robbing two banks, one in the Victorian centre of Euroa and one over the New South Wales border in Jerilderie. During the second robbery, the Kelly gang held captive 60 people and Ned read from the Jerilderie letter. This was a document Ned dictated to Byrne, explaining the history of his problems with the law, and outlining the persecution he thought he (and all poor Irish Catholics in Victoria) had suffered at the hands of the establishment.
The Kelly Gang remained at large until 1880. Their final act was played out in the
small township of Glenrowan, on June 27. There they took the community prisoner and herded them into the local hotel. About 50 police arrived by rail and surrounded the hotel. Ready for battle, the Kelly Gang donned armour made from metal ploughshares. The bloody shoot-out, including the burning down of the hotel, claimed the lives of all the Kelly Gang but Ned, who was shot numerous times.
Taken by the police, he stood trial in Melbourne and was sentenced to death. On
November 11, 1880, he was hanged in the Old Melbourne Gaol. His final words were, "Such is life."
