Plot Synopsis:
Geronimo: An American Legend (1993), directed by Walter Hill and written by John Milius and Larry Gross from a story by Milius, focuses on the eponymous Apache leader, one of the great strategists and last holdouts in the American war/genocide against its first citizens. Magnificently played by Wes Studi (The Last of the Mohicans), Geronimo earns over the years the grudging respect even of those sent to defeat him, including General Crook (Gene Hackman) and various officers and scouts played by the likes of Jason Patric, Robert Duvall, and – in an early role – Matt Damon. Highlighted by a Ry Cooder score, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
