Run of the Arrow

From visionary filmmaker Samuel Fuller comes this thought-provoking frontier classic starring Rod Steiger and Sarita Montiel. Refusing to accept defeat, embittered rebel Pvt. O'Meara (Steiger) heads west after the Civil War, turning his back on the United States. Caught by the Sioux, he survives the Run of the Arrow, a brutal race of endurance, and takes himself a squaw (Montiel, dubbed by Angie Dickinson). Inducted into the tribe, a conflicted O'Meara must soon decide where his loyalties lie when the building of an Army fort provokes a savage war between the US. and the Sioux. "One of [Samuel Fuller's] strongest films" (Chicago Reader), Run of the Arrow is a Western decades ahead of its time. Portraying the Sioux in a more respectful fashion than the norm, Fuller explores such complex themes as hatred vs. reason and man's search for identity in an action- packed adventure costarring Brian Keith, Ralph Meeker and Charles Bronson.
