Apache Movie (1954) Clip

Plot synopsis:Robert Aldrich’s 'Apache' — starring Burt Lancaster and Jean Peters — is a landmark classic western now arriving on Masters of Cinema Blu-ray (UK): after Geronimo’s surrender, Massai (Lancaster) — the last Apache warrior — escapes a prison train and fights to return home and build a life with Nalinle, sparking a tense, morally complex tale of survival as the frontier closes. Directed by the auteur behind 'Kiss Me Deadly', 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?' and 'The Dirty Dozen', Aldrich’s first western is one of the earliest American films to centre a sympathetic Native American protagonist and remains essential viewing for fans of restored classic westerns, Burt Lancaster performances, and landmark genre cinema — subscribe for more classic film restorations and Blu-ray releases.
