Tomahawk stars Academy Award winner Van Heflin as the legendary Indian sympathizer Jim Bridger. When the U.S. government decides to build a wagon route to Montana's gold in 1866, they must run through the middle of the Sioux hunting grounds. Bridger fights for justice and territorial rights for the Sioux Indians, which leads to full-scale conflict between the cavalry and Indians. Featuring a strong supporting case including Yvonne De Carlo as a traveling wagon-show singer, Alex Nicol as a prejudiced lieutenant, Preston Foster and Rock Hudson as other members of the cavalry, and Susan Cabot as a Cheyenne woman, this Technicolor classic boasts superb scenery and action on a grand scale.
