The Last of the Mohicans

When rugged frontiersman Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) saves the Munro sisters -- two newly arrived English settlers -- from a Huron ambush, he ends up in the midst of the battle between the British and the French for control of the American colonies. Director Michael Mann's first-rate production also stars Madeleine Stowe as the Munro sister who wins Hawkeye's heart, and Wes Studi as the Huron warrior who has a score to settle with her father.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

...the action is richly detailed and thrillingly staged.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
