Based on a true story from frontier history in the late
1870s, this epic Western was one of veteran director
John Ford 's last films. A group of Cheyennes decide to leave the Oklahoma reservation where they are being starved out of existence. They plan a 1500-mile trek to their old homelands in Wyoming. But the cavalry is forced by unsympathetic authority to halt the migration, and a revival of old hatreds - and war - seems inevitable.
Screenplay by JAMES R. WEBB Produced by BERNARD SMITH Directed by JOHN FORD
