The Last of the Mohicans (1936 film)

The Last of the Mohicans is a 1936 American adventure film directed by George B. Seitz and starring Randolph Scott, Binnie Barnes and Henry Wilcoxon based on the novel The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper.

The fort is besieged by the French, under General Montcalm, and their Indian allies. Hawkeye sneaks out at night and overhears Maguas treacherous plans to raid the unprotected colonial settlements. However, Colonel Munro refuses to accept just his unsupported word and allow the colonials to leave to protect their loved ones. Hawkeye arranges for the men to depart, but remains behind. Munro has no choice but to pronounce a death sentence on him for his actions. Before it can be carried out, however, Magua incites his men to attack the fort, to forestall an agreement between Montcalm and Munro in which the British will evacuate the fort in return for their lives. Before a mortified Montcalm can put a stop to the fighting, Munro is fatally wounded, and his daughters carried off by Magua and a small band of his supporters. Magua tells the women that Cora will become his squaw, while Alice will be burned alive.Hawkeye and his friends break out of the stockade and set out in pursuit, as does Heyward. When they reach a stream, they are forced to split up, Hawkeye and Chingachgook searching downstream and Heyward and Uncas upstream. Uncas picks up the trail and, unwilling to wait for the others, hurries ahead by himself. He manages to free Cora, but the pair are trapped on top of a cliff. Uncas manages to kill one man, but Magua sends him plummeting to the bottom of the cliff. Rather than becoming Maguas woman, Cora chooses to jump to her death. The dying Uncas drags himself over to her lifeless body and takes her hand in his before succumbing. Chingachgook arrives and challenges Magua to fight oneonone. Hawkeye prevents Heyward from interfering. Finally, Chinachgook drowns Magua in the river. ........
