Overview

A report reaches the US Army Cavalry that the Apache leader Ulzana has left his reservation with a band of followers. A compassionate young officer, Lieutenant DeBuin, is given a small company to find him and bring him back; accompanying the troop is McIntosh, an experienced scout, and Ke-Ni-Tay, an Apache guide. Ulzana massacres, rapes and loots across the countryside; and as DeBuin encounters the remains of his victims, he is compelled to learn from McIntosh and to confront his own naivity and hidden prejudices.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A brutal examination of violence and prejudice in the American frontier, where a young officer's moral assumptions are systematically stripped away by the realities of Apache warfare and his own complicity in a violent system. Uncomfortable and unflinching.
