Synopsis:
Perhaps best known for his iconic film noir effort Kiss Me Deadly , his unsettling psychological horror film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and his action-packed war movie The Dirty Dozen , the celebrated American auteur Robert Aldrich was also an accomplished director of Westerns. Amongst his best are Vera Cruz , The Last Sunset and his very first foray into the genre: the Burt Lancaster vehicle Apache .
Following the surrender of Geronimo ( Monte Blue ) to the United States Cavalry, Massai (Lancaster) becomes the last remaining Apache warrior. After he is captured by the American military and put on a prison train to be forcibly resettled on a reservation in Florida, all seems lost. But Massai manages to escape his captors and sets out to return home, where he hopes to settle down with Nalinle ( Jean Peters ) and farm the land. But as the frontier shrinks rapidly by the day, returning to his homeland will not be so easy.
One of the earliest Westerns to feature a sympathetic Native American protagonist fighting back against the white settlers who swept across the United States throughout the nineteenth century, Aldrich's first Western It is a landmark film in the history of the genre. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present Apache for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK.
