...The Apaches are led by Geronimo played by Wes Studi and are refusing to give up their land without a fight. The film has many battles and some are quite gruesome.

However he can be deadly to people who stand in his or his people's way. The film ...

I loved this film. I've not seen a good western in a long time and it is about time we saw some more. You can't beat some good guy - bad guy action, smith 'n' westerns, lucky hats and obedient horses. This film is about a infamous criminal (Russel Crowe) being transported to justice (the train to yuma) by a honest rancher (ex -army -sharpshooter -Christian Bale) just trying to earn a little extra cash to keep a hold of his land and gain the respect ...
