A Civil War veteran returns to Texas and joins his part-Native American companion in searching for a young niece abducted after a family attack. As the years pass, the journey across the frontier becomes increasingly shaped by grief, vengeance, prejudice, and uncertain motives.
You may enjoy this if you appreciate visually striking, morally challenging classic westerns like Stagecoach, but Not for you if dated racial portrayals, slow stretches, and an unsympathetic lead are deal-breakers.
