Black Cloud (Eddie Spears), a tough young Navajo, garners the attention of a scout (Peter Greene), who offers him a shot at the American Olympic boxing team. Black Cloud, however, refuses if it means bringing glory to his people's white oppressors. After he gets into a fight with his girlfriend's ex, Eddie (Rick Schroder), who's trying to win her back, Black Cloud goes off on his own -- which leads to a revelation about his bloodline and a decision to take the scout's offer.

Janice Page Boston Globe Many cliches and borrowed substitutes for creativity. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 11, 2005 Full Review Bill Muller Arizona Republic In drawing on hackneyed plot devices from both sports movies and films about Native Americans, Schroder essentially has created an extended version of Walker, Texas Ranger without the intellectual dialogue or, sadly, Chuck Norris. Rated: 2/5 Sep 30, 2004 Full Review Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile An engaging and entertaining story about a young Navajo burdened by demons about his single white ancestor, and has a chip on his shoulder Jan 23, 2009 Full Review Dan Lybarger eFilmCritic.com If he can refine his writing and keep his heart in the right place, Schroder's next movie might offer the impact that 'Black Cloud' is missing. Rated: 3/5 Apr 6, 2005 Full Review Ernest Hardy L.A. Weekly A determinedly old-fashioned boxing/ coming-of -age film, only perfunctorily hitting its marks. Mar 17, 2005 Full Review Wade Major Boxoffice Magazine Schroder's exceptionally impressive writing and directing debut. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 1, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I really liked the movie when I seen it when I was younger and I am having a hard time finding it anywhere now Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I gave Ricky Shroder a massage one time at Bally's Las Vegas. My first Vegas job. It was in the health spa and the little punk stiffed me. He plays a lump in this mediocre movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I want to see it verry much. I have been trying to find it verry long time. please, who have this movie send me it on my mail: Coufalova.Eva@seznam.cz Thank you verry much... :-) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful.
