The story revolves around three men, these are the last of the Mohicans, a dying out Indian tribe. Chingachgook and Uncas are the true Mohicans, the third a white adopted man called Nathaniel Po/Hawkeye. They plan to head west to Kentucky but get caught up in a war that is none of their own fault.
Not only does the story revolve the Mohicans, it has other little stories built into the film. These include such aspects as jealousy, love, honesty, trust and so on that we; as people go through each day. The film portrays these very well and almost anything you can think of is included.

Advantages: Trevor Jones Disadvantages: Randy Edelman
Based on the novel by James Fenimore Cooper and the 1936 screenplay adaptation, The Last of the Mohicans was a powerhouse movie, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the frontier scout Hawk-eye, a white man raised amongst the Delaware Indians. With the help of his Mohican friends Chingachgook and Uncas he now helps the two daughters of a military commander to their father in the middle of warfare with the French and their recruited Indian allies the Hurons, headed by the wicked Magua. Directed by Michael Mann, the film is a fast-paced action adventure that is immensely entertaining as well as perfectly performed. Despite a two-hour running time the film just seems to fly by thanks to the fast pacing and captivating story that in the novel often seems to get stuck in overlong descriptions and empty dialogue stretches.

Advantages: so romantic, full action, so heroic, Great entertainment Disadvantages: A bit gory at times
trying to reach their father, a British colonel in command at the fort. Hawkeye, the rustic tracker, and Cora, the refined, eldest daughter, are naturally drawn together (much to the dismay of Major Heyward, an intriguing character who also vies for Cora's affections).
The Last of the Mohicans is a marvelous, visual adventure that thoroughly reveals the horrors of warfare, the wildness of a chaste frontier, and the fated and ill-fated romances of the characters involved ...

DVD Description
Cora (Madeleine Stowe) and her younger sister, Alice (Jodhi May), both recent arrivals to the colonies, are being escorted to their father, Colonel Munro (Maurice Roeves), by a troop of British soldiers. Along the way they are ambushed by a Huron war party led by Magua (Wes Studi), a sinister warrior with a blood vendetta against Munro. Munro's soldiers are wiped out and Cora herself is nearly killed by Magua but is saved at the last moment by Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis), a white trapper raised by the Mohican tribe. Hawkeye promises to take Cora and her sister safely to their father, and along the way Cora and the intense Hawkeye fall in love. Together they must survive wilderness, war, and the relentless pursuit of Magua. Returning to the theme of a great love threatened by overwhelming circumstances, director Michael Mann hits the mark with an adaptation that captures the essence of the book and its historical details perfectly. Day-Lewis and Stowe are beautiful to watch, delivering moving performances as two people trying to hold on to each other in times of war. In addition, the Native American political activist Russell Means makes an oustanding film debut as Chingachgook, Hawkeye's adopted father and last of the Mohicans.
