A Blackhawk Indian in 1845 Montana asks some early white settlers for medicine to treat small pox which has stricken his tribe. Instead, he is robbed and some of his companions killed. In revenge, he kidnaps Dawn Wells and her young brother. They travel across the harsh and beautiful landscape deep into the mountains to his home. A posse follows them. Simple story in a classic western style, sympathetic to the Indian point of view, with spectacular widescreen cinematography. My only gripes are the rather monotone performance by Michael Dante in the lead and the cliched use of slow motion.
