Overview
In 1866, a new gold discovery and an inconclusive conference force the U.S. Army to build a road and fort in territory ceded by previous treaty to the Sioux...to the disgust of frontier scout Jim Bridger, whose Cheyenne wife led him to see the conflict from both sides. The powder-keg situation needs only a spark to bring war, and violent bigots like Lieut. Rob Dancy are all too likely to provide this. Meanwhile, Bridger's chance of preventing catastrophe is dimmed by equally wrenching personal conflicts. Unusually accurate historically.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Western that treats its central conflict with unusual moral complexity, following a scout caught between his adopted community and the forces of expansion. The film builds toward inevitable tragedy with the weight of broken treaties and human intransigence.
