Richard Harris stars in this carefully documented epic that attempted to realistically portray the life of the American Sioux in the early 19th century. When an English Lord (Harris) is captured by a Sioux Indian tribe, he is given to the chief's aging mother (Dame Judith Anderson) as a servant. Gradually, he embraces the tribe's way of life and falls in love with the chief's sister, but before he can be accepted with honor, as an equal member of the tribe, he must take part in the sun vow - an extreme ritual that will test his dedication and commitment.
