Based on a true story, this film focuses on the plight of Nez Perce Native American leader Chief Joseph (Ned Romero) and his decision to defy the U.S. government's demand to relocate his tribe from their territory to a smaller reservation in Idaho. The tribe tries to flee across several states with the U.S. Cavalry in pursuit, led by Gen. Oliver O. Howard (James Whitmore). Howard is impressed with Chief Joseph's war tactics, but is nevertheless determined to force surrender.

06/13/2020 An ok film that hasn’t aged as well as others and on its own it has some problems that at the time could have been avoided See more 08/11/2015 Emotional dramatic version. Like to see an updated version See more don s 01/24/2015 Huge fan of Native American culture, and we get a lot of it in this one. The Nez Pearce tribes must outsmart the military or wind up on the Reservation. Not the best of performances, but very interesting topic which does a good job of treating the subject matter with respect. See more 06/28/2013 130628: When I saw this was another made for TV movie, my heart dropped. I stuck with it however and it turned out to be a pretty good movie. Sad but interesting little piece of history. Features James Whitmore and a young Sam Elliott, both whom I found very enjoyable. See more 09/16/2011 I'm sure its a fine film; Jim Jones mentioned it during the Jonestown Massacre Death Tape. See more 10/07/2010 one of the best movies of the horrors against Native Americans See more Read all reviews
