MPAA Rating: R for violence
Set in 1857, this drama is based loosely on a real-life incident, although the movie is not necessarily historically accurate. The incident was the Mountain Meadows Massacre, in which Utah Mormons killed 120 California-bound settlers on September 11, and the filmmakers were presumably trying to deliver a message about religion-based fanaticism. In the movie, Jon Voight plays a local Mormon leader whose son (Trent Ford) falls for a young woman (Tamara Hope) on the settlers' wagon train. The film also has actors portraying Brigham Young and Joseph Smith.
