I often wish I could look back in time, and personally experience what life was like at different points in history. (Sometimes I just get nostalgic for the times of my youth; I struggle to recall the way things were back then sometimes.)
So I can relate to the history professor and the tracker in this movie. I love the outdoors, the old west, indians, and find that the more primitive times hold a great appeal for me.
So I love this movie. Tom Berenger plays a tracker named Lewis Gates, and Barbara Hershey plays an indian historian named Lilian Sloan. Gates and Sloan make contact with a small tribe of indians who have remained isolated from white men for about a century.
This film isn't political, it doesn't push some social agenda. It just tells the kind of story which sparks my imagination in a good way.

The first time I saw this film, Wilford Brimley was "narrating the action" and turning the movie into mush. I wondered why this movie needed an "echo" and set it aside as "forgettable." Then I ran across the original version on YouTube, and the movie came alive. Even though I'd seen it before with Wilford Brimley's narration, it soared like a Bald eagle. (So much for the Hollyweird executives. They see nothing, they say nothing, and they know nothing.) Wilford Brimley is a favorite character actor, but his participation wasn't needed. A great modern/adult Western, cut from the "Lonely Are The Brave" fabric.
