Movie Info

This western offers one of Hollywood's more historically accurate accounts of the Battle of Little Big Horn. The story centers on a major in the cavalry who believes the Indians have the same rights as other Americans. Despite his efforts to stop Custer from embarking on his ill-fated mission, the general carries on. Later the major is court-marshaled for being a traitor and ends up sentenced to die. Fortunately, Sitting Bull sends a petition to the President and pleads for the good major's pardon. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

An OK Movie, what was best about it was, the battle between Custer and Sitting Bull, arrows were bouncing off the Calvary, Calvary Men falling dead then getting up, loaded with comical mistrakes, This was one of 3 Movies on a disc, Just OK

Less than impressive filming, this movie is credited by film historians with having it right about the actual battle of the Little Big Horn. Dale Robertson leads as a peacemaking calveryman respected by Sitting Bull and demoted by no less than Gen. Armstrong Custer himself. This film appears as more of a television
