When the government agency fails to deliver even the meager supplies due by treaty to the proud Cheyenne tribe in their barren desert reserve, the starving Indians have taken more abuse than it's worth and break it too by embarking on a 1,500 miles journey back to their ancestral hunting grounds. US Cavalry Capt. Thomas Archer is charged with their retrieval, but during the hunt grows to respect their noble courage, and decides to help them. 《安邦定国志》超140字影评。 本片讲述远在1887年美国与印第安人签订和约，答应援助正受到各种如天灾、疾病、粮食短缺等问题的印第安人，驻扎在奥克拉荷马保留区。但美国政府忽略了这项协约，于是夏安族的酋长决定，返回原来的拥有比较丰盛农产的居住地。这样一来，就破坏了协议，引起了军队和夏安族的冲突，使美国内部陷入动荡与不安中。美国人与印第安人的摩擦日益增多，这时幸好有一位军官请内政部长随行化解冲突，把印第安人原居住地也划为保留区，美国与印第安人之间终于和平起来。此片是由名导演约翰．福特所拍摄的史诗型影片，在导演细腻的描写下，人性的尊严充分表达出来，并以写实手法充分诠释了当时的历史背景。
