Caught in the crossfire of greed and hate
Provoked by gold miners invading their homeland, the Apaches go on the warpath. Audie Murphy's cavalry captain brings about a peace that lasts until the murder of a new Indian agent is blamed on the tribe and the ruthless tactics of commanding officer (John Archer) make matters worse. Murphy turns from hating Indians to helping them and ultimately proposes marriage to Linda Lawson's half-breed.
A thoughtful western featuring a clash of cultures, a powder keg situation brought on by greedy miners whose heinous actions cause the Apaches to break the reservation and go on the warpath. Sounds familiar, but there's some nicely drawn characters, a very good cast ( Michael Dante is excellent as Redhawk and L. Q. Jones is quite nasty as the villain), and a bit more depth and an engaging build-up before the lead and arrows fly.
But it's the Audie's understated performance as an Indian-hating ( actually I wouldn't say he hates them, but is confused and bitter) cavalry captain that carries the briskly-plotted film. The action is sporadic with the narrative in the centre, however, when the action comes, it's stirring. There's a particular scene that is quite fresh: Audie and L. Q fight it out in the desert, then stop and duck as the Apaches rush by, and there's a point when they slip into a crevasse of a rock as they rush by again. Energetic western with a strong narrative that ends on a positive note.

audie shines
Ken lynch and l.q. jones make the nastiest bad guys on the planet that you can spot in the opening scenes...the new colonel is a retarded jerk that murph should have punched out ... my sympathies have always been with the indigent americans ... i firmly believe we stole their heritage as well as everything else
