Set in Kansas during the early 1900s, a teen-aged Native American boy (newcomer Winter Fox Frank) is taken from his family and forced to attend a distant Indian "training" school to assimilate into White society. When he escapes to return to his family, Sam Franklin (Wes Studi), a bounty hunter of Cherokee descent, is hired to find and return him to the institution. Franklin, a former Indian scout for the U.S. Army, has renounced his Native heritage and has adopted the White Man's way of life, believing it's the only way for Indians to survive. Along the way, a tragic incident spurs Franklin's longtime nemesis, the famous "Indian Fighter" Sheriff Henry McCoy (J. Kenneth Campbell), to pursue both Franklin and the boy.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Jim BI wanted this to be great, but despite Wes Studi's best efforts, it is only really good. I did get to meet mr. Studi this morning though at the festival screening and he was gracious and as cool in person as he is on screen. Tidbit from the Q&A: In trying to get distribution for the film, an unnamed big studio asked if they would reshoot studi's scenes with him on a Horse instead of a motorcycle to make it more "western." Seriously. jackasses!
