Movie Description Hawks adventure with strong performance by Douglas as a Kentucky mountaineer who embarks on a keelboat expedition up the Missouri River in the 1830s. The perilous journey includes battles with hostile Indians and bands of outlaws - and romance with a Blackfoot princess. Pleasant frontier mythmaking based on the novel by A.B. Guthrie, the poet of America's westward expansion. Beware of colorized version.
