After a convoy and its U.S. cavalry escort are attacked by Cheyenne Native Americans, only Private Honus Gant (Peter Strauss) and a young woman under the cavalry's protection (Candice Bergen) survive. Forced to travel across the American frontier's unforgiving wilderness in search of refuge, their journey reaches a tragic climax as they witness the vengeful U.S. army's cold-blooded slaughter of the Cheyenne tribe. Controversial upon its release and reflecting the political climate of the time, Ralph Nelson's Soldier Blue (1970) is uncompromising in its anti-war stance and in its graphic depiction of the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre. By shedding light on America's dark history and the inhumane actions of the U.S. army, this revisionist western is one of the most radical films in American cinema's history.
