Walter Hill kept trying to keep the western genre film alive after it had probably died off in the 1970's for the most part. The film is based on the events that led to the surrender of Native American Chief Geronimo to the United States Army.
The film's emphasis is on one of the Army's Lieutenants, Charles Gatewood a real life character who actually persuaded Geronimo to surrender to the United States government.
As with all Walter Hill films, this is meticulously made and has a very good cast which includes Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, Jason Patric and Matt Damon in a very early role in his career.
The film has a real feel for the American Southwest. It was written by John Milius and Larry Gross, the running time is 115 minutes.
