==Plot== |
|||
Set in 19th-century New Mexico where this movie was shot, Samuel Jones (Jones) reappears hoping to reconcile with his adult daughter Maggie Gilkeson (Blanchett). She is unable to forgive him for abandoning the family and leaving her mother to a hard life and early death. This situation changes when a Apache medicine man and a dozen of his followers who have left the reservation pass through the area, ritualistically killing settlers and taking their daughters to be sold into prostitution south of the American border. Among those captured is the eldest daughter of the family, Lily. |
|||
The [[U.S. Cavalry]] refuses to help retrieve the captive women as its resources are tied up conducting forced relocation of captive [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]]. This leaves Maggie, her father, and the younger daughter alone in tracking the attackers. We discover that Jones had been a member of a [[Chiricahua]] band where he gained the name Chaa-duu-ba-its-iidan (translates as “shit for luck”) during his wanderings. Among the captives is a young Chiricahua woman and it is finally the combined families who make a near suicidal attempt to free the women. |
|||
Jones fights El Brujo, the one responsible for kidnapping his granddaughter, Lilly. When Brujo attempts to kill Maggie, Jones sacrifices his life to save his daughter as both he and Brujo fall to their deaths. Maggie realizes her father's love for her and finally forgives him at his death. |
