Taza, Son of Cochise
He led the Apache nation against Geronimo's last great raid!!!
Directed by Douglas Sirk
Produced by Universal International Pictures, Ross Hunter Productions
A mid-century Western exploring the tragic conflict between peace and war among the Apache, centered on a leader's struggle to maintain his father's legacy against internal division and external prejudice.
Three years after the end of the Apache wars, peacemaking chief Cochise dies. His elder son Taza shares his ideas, but brother Naiche yearns for war...and for Taza's betrothed, Oona. Naiche loses no time in starting trouble which, thanks to a bigoted cavalry officer, ends with the proud Chiricahua Apaches on a reservation, where they are soon joined by the captured renegade Geronimo, who is all it takes to light the firecracker's fuse...
