A drama full of action about the American cavalry's campaign to capture Chiricahua
Apache warrior Geronimo. Lt. Charles Gatewood (Jason Patric) respects him and
brokers a treaty only to see it collapse, when the army kills the tribal medicine
man. Gene Hackman plays Gen. George Crook, the proud officer charged with bringing
in the Indians, who take to the hills after the killing. Wes Studi deserves an
Academy Award nomination for his outstanding portrayal of the Apache Chief. Robert
Duvall plays a tough, racist army scout. Patric's horsemanship is showcased in a
standout scene with an Apache warrior firing at him on horseback. An eye-opening
look at how the Apaches were treated by the US government. A truly sad part of
American history. Shot on location against the astounding landscape of southeastern
Utah and driven by a wonderful Ry Cooder score.
