Broken Arrow
The most powerful weapon is courage...
Directed by Delmer Daves
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A mid-century Western that uses a peace-brokering narrative to explore the moral complexity of settler-Native relations, grounded in earnest humanism rather than cynicism.
Indian scout Tom Jeffords is sent out to stem the war between the American settlers and Apaches in the late 1870s Arizona. He learns that the Indians kill only to protect themselves, or out of retaliation for white atrocities.
