"Within the Cheyenne tribe
there used to be a military society made up of the strongest and
bravest men. They were fierce fighters - unyielding. They called
themselves Chotometnea - dogmen." - Prof. Lillian
Sloan
Why watch this? A
lost Native American tribe that has survived in the wilderness -
count me in.
Plot Summary:
A Montana bounty hunter tracks escaped convicts into a remote
wilderness and discovers a hidden tribe of Cheyenne Indians,
thought to have been wiped out over a century ago. With an
anthropologist's help, he must decide whether to expose the
tribe to the modern world or protect its ancient way of life.
The pair finds themselves in a race against time, forced to face
the dangers of both nature and civilization.
Dad's Preview:
There were a whole slew of bounty hunter films from the 90's.
This one, however, has a plot that makes it unique, and worth
your time. This neo-Western has a feel of legitimacy thanks to a
great cast, some incredible mountain scenery and a powerful
soundtrack. This adventure is better early on, and does get a
little formulaic at the end, but don't let that deter you. It is
a very good flick, especially if you favor Native American films.
Seriously, the premise is not as far-fetched as you might
think... heck there were some tribes still roaming our continent
only 200 years ago.
