Synopsis
Walter Hill directs John Milius's script (co-written by Larry Gross)
depicting a revisionist perspective on the "Geronimo Campaign" and
how Geronimo, with 34 men, managed to elude 5000 U.S. cavalry
men between 1885 and 1886 before his surrender at the Canyon of
the Skeletons in September 1886. The film centers upon Charles
Gatewood (Jason Patric), the U.S. Cavalry lieutenant who is charged
with capturing the elusive Apache leader. Gatewood is torn by a
grudging respect for Geronimo and his people and his duty to his country.
But then all the white men in the film have a respect for Geronimo, even
as they are trying to hunt him down and kill him. General Charles Crook
(Gene Hackman), charged with overseeing the forced settlement of the
Apaches on reservations, has nothing but admiration for Geronimo
