Full Plot Details

In Wyoming Territory, army Major Ives and his men are building a temporary camp. The civilian surveyor, Mr. Keats is making preparations for the construction of a large permanent fort. However, the future fort is being erected on Cheyenne lands, in defiance of the treaty. Adam Reed is a self employed scout with friendly ties to the Cheyenne. Upset about the construction of the new fort on their lands, the Cheyenne ask scout Reed to contact Major Ives and deliver their message of grievance to him. The symbolic message consists of a yellow tomahawk as a warning against the building of a new fort in the area. Reed delivers the warning message to Major Ives but he is not taken serious. Major Ives lectures Reed about the need of bringing civilization to the lands that otherwise would go to waste under the savages. Reed retorts that Major Ives' only duty is to escort wagon trains of settlers passing through Cheyenne territory rather than build new forts in violation of the treaty. Reed also mentions the fact that Major Ives has a bad reputation with the Cheyenne who call him 'the Butcher' because of past massacres committed against Indians. Major Ives refuses to heed Reed's warnings, calls Reed a traitor and orders him to remain in the army camp to prevent him from returning to the Cheyenne. Reed obeys but warns everyone in the camp of a major Cheyenne attack. Major Ives orders the hurried construction of a reinforced defensive compound. Also in the camp are the families of the soldiers, a Mexican scout and his Indian squaw, the fiancee of one of the officers and a gold prospector who just happened to arrive there. Major Ives' determination to stay and defy the Cheyenne is not all due to his patriotism and courage. The Major also hides a terrible personal secret.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Kevin RNext time we meet it will be to steal each other's lives An American general is stationed on Cheyenne Indians land and does not wish to move his troops. His camp includes the troop's families but the general is too arrogant to partake in the burden of moving. The Cheyenne warns the general to move his troops, which is more than the general gave a rival tribe before wiping them out. Will the general risk the lives of his troops and their family's over his arrogance? "When massacre meets massacre, where's the end of it?" Lesley Selander, director of Fort Utah, Arizona Bushwhackers, Convict Stage, War Party, Fort Yuma, Tomahawk Trail, Gunplay, and War Paint, delivers The Yellow Tomahawk. The storyline for this picture is interesting, unpredictable, and well delivered. The characters are solid and the script is well written and displays the stubbornness of the men who survived the west. The acting in this picture is outstanding and the cast includes Lee Van Cleef, Rory Calhoun, Rita Moreno, and Peter Graves. "War, soon. You will tell it to the butcher." This movie initially grabbed my attention when I discovered Lee Van Cleef, one of my favorite western actors, starred as the Indian villain. Van Cleef is generally the villain and always marvelous in these movies and this was no different (despite it being weird seeing him playing an Indian). Overall, this is an interesting western that brilliantly depicts American arrogance and the decisions made during a time period where two cultures felt an ownership to the American west. "I'll find you again even if I have to walk all the way back to Oregon." Grade: B
User Review - 8/10 by Greg Wgood western loved this as a kid at the Saturday matinee
