Geronimo: An American Legend

1993 • 115 minutes

About this movie

An American legend comes to breathtaking life in this explosive epic Western starring Jason Patric, Robert Duvall, Gene Hackman, and Wes Studi as Geronimo. Studi (Last of the Mohicans) gives a stunning performance as the fearless warrior who was the last Indian leader to surrender to the white man. Betrayed by the Army's legendary 'Indian fighter', General George Crook (Hackman), Geronimo leads a small band of warriors in their escape. Pursued by a principled officer (Patric), a grizzled Army scout (Duvall), and a gung-ho West Point graduate (Matt Damon), Geronimo evades capture through brilliant military strategy and cutthroat courage. His true story is both an action adventure and a spiritual journey through the heart of a warrior. © 1993 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Ratings and reviews

Starts off good and has some great acting. Incredible southwest scenery throughout. Story sort of goes nowhere though and the end is just blah. Jason Patric's dull pretentious acting ruins a lot of scenes tbh.

One of Wes Studi's best films and one of the best accurately portrayed work of realistic fiction about Native American Indians of the West available.

Great movie. Make you want to read a book about.
