One Night Stand is a 1984 science fiction film directed by John Duigan.

Production

Richard Mason and John Duigan brought the script to Hoyts Edgley who agreed to back it. Simon Wincer called Duigan "a highly talented filmmaker and a brilliant writer" who was "an utter joy to work with".

The Opera House was only used for ten days of filming because it was too expensive to hire. The rest of the movie was shot in the Seymour Centre.

The film includes a performance by Midnight Oil.

Paul Hester, drummer for Split Enz and Crowded House, appears in the film uncredited.
