Apache

Burt Lancaster stars as Massai, the only Indian chief left undefeated after the surrender of Geronimo. Forced off his land, Massai is forced to fight for what he believes in, waging a one-man war against the US army until a child’s cry causes him to question the use of violence. One of a number of 1950s Westerns which sought to develop a social conscience and re-evaluate the role of the Native American, this was the first big-budget film from noted director Robert Aldrich.
