The Return of a Man Called Horse

The Return of a Man Called Horse is a 1976 American western film directed by Irvin Kershner involving a conflict over territory between Sioux Indians and white men. It is the sequel to A Man Called Horse and it was followed by The Triumphs of a Man Called Horse in 1982.

Trappers with government support force the Yellow Hands Sioux off their sacred land. The Indians retreat, but await supernatural punishment to descend on their usurpers. Harris reprises his role as John Morgan, 8th Earl of Kildare, who had lived with the tribe for years and is known as Horse, leaves his English fiance and estate and returns to America, where he discovers the Yellow Hand people have been largely massacred or put into slavery by the unscrupulous white traders and their Indian cohorts. The few survivors, including wise old Running Bull and stubborn old Elk Woman Gale Sondergaard have gone into the Badlands and been forced to eat their dogs. Why did you return? asks Elk Woman. I had to come back, says Morgan. I had to prove something to myself... there was an empty place in my soul. I could not forget. He finds the tribe dispirited, because of the actions of the trappers, and he begins to devise a strategy to overpower the trappers stronghold, convincing the Indians to take direct action. Soon even the Indian women and boys are assigned tasks to aid the assault to regain their ancestral land.Much of the film was shot in 1975 in South Dakota in the United States. Other scenes were filmed in the United Kingdom and Mexico. ........
