Wild Bill Hickok is haunted by his dreams of a giant white buffalo. So much that he travels the West to find the beast. Along the way, Hickok meets Crazy Horse, who is also searching the plains for the giant white buffalo, who has killed Crazy Horses daughter. Hickok and Crazy Horse team up to kill the elusive buffalo.Much of the film was shot on a soundstage in Los Angeles with location shots in Colorado and New Mexico. For the buffalo scenes, producer Laurentiis hired Carlo Rambaldi to design an animatronic fullsize bison that would slide around on tracks. This was based on his larger scale work on their previous collaboration King Kong 1976. Actors Ed Lauter and David Roya were similarly involved in King Kong, along with composer John Barry. ........
