    Where to Watch

The eldest daughter of a pioneer family is kidnapped by a mysterious Indian tribe and the eldest son pursues. In order to win back his sister's freedom, he must sacrifice his own life by passing the test of "Crooked Sky" and shield his sister from an executioner's arrow. Along the way, he recruits a broken down, drunk prospector to help him track down the unknown tribe and rescue his sister

A variation of John Ford's THE SEARCHERS in which crusty old trapper Boone and young, determined Petersen set out to find Blanch, Petersen's attractive sister who has been captured (of course) by evil, mindless Indians. It is a shame to see an actor like Boone, who can be very powerful when given the chance, stuck in a mediocre western that does not explore the genre's immense and varied complexities.
