Description:
It was a romantic time of adventure in the old west as the country erupted into Civil War. In the midst of the chaos, a love story like no other unfolded. Rebecca Carver (Kelly Preston), a young, expectant mother, and her husband are attacked by a gang of vicious outlaws while traveling west. With her spouse brutally murdered, Rebecca is left stranded in a remote post. There she finds a fierce Cheyenne Warrior badly wounded by the same band of savage cutthroats who killed her husband. What follows is a tender story of love and revenge triumphing over fear and prejudice.
Amazon.com:
In the 1870s, pregnant Rebecca (Kelly Preston) and her husband are on their way across the West when they stop at a trading post. Her husband's naivete (and his prized Henry rifle) soon leads to his death at the hands of a ruthless buffalo hunter, and the proprietor of the trading post (Dan Haggerty) is killed as well. Cheyenne warrior chief Hawk (Pato Hoffman) is wounded in the fight with the buffalo hunter, and Rebecca helps nurse him back to health again, opting to stay at the trading post rather than go along with Hawk. Hawk returns to his tribe, but comes back to the post when Rebecca's baby is due (undoubtedly having figured out the date and put it in his Palm Pilot). Together they form a strange sort of love-hate affair and learn to get around their cultural differences, at the cost of Hawk's affiliation with his own people. There are problems with the script and direction of this movie; for instance, the baby sort of disappears for a prolonged period, and Rebecca seems to get over her husband's death within days. Still, there is the spectacular Colorado (?) scenery and considerable attention to period detail in clothing, weapons, etc. Pato Hoffman is excellent as the Cheyenne Hawk; why isn't this actor better known? --Jerry Renshaw

Rating:  - Cheyenne Warrior is a MUST SEE for indian western fans!
Cheyenne Warrior is a lovely film, with romance and action. I highly recomend it and I'll give it a dice cast of 6!!!
It tells the story of an white woman and a wounded warrior, who must stick together (weather they like it or not) to survive. And as time goes by they even fall in love with one another. But their different nations keeps draging them apart...
Rating:  - No Dances With Wolves
This movie was in part inspired by the success of Dances With Wolves, and I think many people, such as myself, have sought to watch this movie with the hopes of having an experience comparable that we had watching it. Unfortunately, Cheyenne Warrior is nowhere near as good. The dialogue is not all that great, in particular when it comes to Pato Hoffman's attempts to sound like an Indian speaking English. And the acting can only be classified as average at best. Sadly, with a little effort in ... Read More
Rating: - Why are there not more A.Native films on DVD?
This film is so exciting and the DVD is full of interesting details about the making of the film, where and how it is made and the details about the disputes over the script were fascinating-I would be giving it away if I told you what they were. Pato Hoffman was perfect as the vibrant cheyenne warrior chief Hawk, where has he been all my life ? Where is he acting now, as I cannot get Naturally Native and The Sentinel on DVD ? I have now bought Geronimo and Wild Bull to see him in action but it would ... Read More
Rating: - Cheyenne Warrior - great movie
Just a quick note to say that I thought this was a wonderful movie. It was entertaining and believable at the same time. I admit I had to break out the tissues at the end.
I also really enjoyed the producers/directors' commentary on the DVD. Usually I find them boring, but this one held my attention and I found myself wanting to ask questions about some of their comments.
I have since either rented or purchased all of Pato Hoffmann's other works that I have been able to find.
Rating: - Just an old-fashioned love story...
Cheyenne Warrior is a beautiful love story with humour and heart-stopping moments. Pato Hoffman is simply gorgeous and Kelly Preston, whilst struggling with some daft dialogue at times, can still manage to portray emotion in the right places most of the time. ( Note I put Mr Hoffman first - he deserves it!)
A feel-good film that I put on the TV on a grey, rainy day whilst snuggling down into a comfy sofa with a large glass of wine to alternately cry or sigh into! Knowing the ultimate, desperate fate ... Read More
