ive wanted this movie 4 a while n i found it on ebay if ur n2 good movies that seem 2 b based on true live events u will love this 1

I love this movie and got it for a friend as a Christmas gift. It is in a sealed package, never opened movie. It is a movie centered between Native American customs and life and a white man who has Native roots who is sucked into investigating some mysterious scenarios on a reservation...very cool insight into NA life...great movie and seller sent it quickly...excellent

Having viewed this movie several times I wanted to get it for my DVD collection and had a hard time finding it. It stars Val Kilmer as an FBI agent of American Indian Ancestry investigating a homocide on an Indian Reservation in the late 1970's. There are some interesting twists to the plot and Kilmer plays the role to the hilt. Kilmer is an excellent actor and with the supporting cast which includes Graham Green as a Reservation Indian Police Officer. There is some graphic violence and some adult language, however I personally think this movie was underrated and definately should have been Oscar material. The story line gives the viewer some idea of the plight of the American Indians living on reservations in the Western United States. One line in Kilmers role, " we have the third world right here in the United States" is quite descriptive of actual conditions.
Over all I rate the movie outstanding, well worth watching.

i love this movie and that's why I bought it. Thunderheart arrived in excellent condition and I am enjoying the movie at this very time. Thank you again

The first time I saw this movie it was still in theatres and this is one fantastic storyline which is more reality than most would care to admit. Most reservations are removed form the rest of the country unless there's revenue to be had. Pine Ridge has so much recent history of the past 50 years yet few outside of the Natives are privy to what they've endured and continue to fight for so their children don't lose that history. Val Kilmer shines!

I am impressed how Native Americans are spiritual and see truths in all forms.
This film is an example of the struggle on the "Red Road". Their sacrifices in life remands constant. Their beliefs are strong, even if it means a "no win" situation. Graham Green's portrait of the "Rez" Cop is unshaken. Val Kilmer as the D.C. FBI man, experiences spirituality for the first time and acts on his instincts to remain truthful to himself and to the Natives.
Watch this movie several times to grasp all of the meanings the "Medicine Man" reveals in this film.

I loved this movie, it was totally cool. Just think that's how alot of things happen even in the cities.. makes you think who's on your side and honest.

I already own the VHS version of this movie, but the DVD version was just as good if not better. Its a great movie and the DVD was in great condition.

This was an xmas gift for my mother in law she had this movie and misplaced it she searched and searched and couldnt find it and when i saw it online i had to get it for her. Thank you so much

I saw this movie a long time ago and I really enjoyed it so I felt I had to add it to my home movie library. Val Kilmer is excellent in this movie and this movie seems to ring some truth to it even though our law inforcement intities are much respected and needed, this movies expresses the fact that there are bad and good people in all areas of society.

This is almost a cult movie with Kilmer and Greene. Some great one-liners and filmed in the remote parts of Dakota on the Indian Reservations. Very interesting balance bewteen the white man and the american indians to inlcude all the meanings for FBI. Very enjoyable movie and very hard to find at discount stores or discount prices. Very available on ebay.

Thunderheart is a factual movie based on indian affairs that is not only informative, but also has a wonderful plot that keeps you watching. There is action, suspense and great history to this movie. The actors do any excellent job portraying their characters. There aren't many movies to compare to the likes of Thunderheart.

The movie was a gift for my brother for Christmas. My mother's relatives come from Cherokee decent, and I think that is why he likes this movie so much, besides the fact that he's a police officer himself.

I am a val Kilmer fan and found the Native american storyline interesting, therefore i reccommend it to other fans.

I decide to buy "Thunderheart" on DVD because I just got a portable DVD player. I love the "Thunderheart" movie, it just talks to me! The thrill, scenery, and actors such as Graham Greene makes me watch this movie over and over again. Five stars just doesn't do the movie justice, it the heart and soul that does!

I have this movie on VHS and wanted to update my collection to DVD. Great suspense and action story based on a compilation of true stories that happend on Indian Reservations during the 70's & 80's. Well written and directed. Great humor breaks the tension filled storyline about a FBI agent sent to the badlands to investigate a string of murders on indian land. Val Kilmer and Sam Shepherd play the FBI team competing with Tribal Cop,Sidney Crowhorse (Greene) for who can find the truth first. Meanwhile Val Kilmer's character is set on a journey of inner exploration to find that part of himself inherited from his Sioux father. A connection with this group of strangers triggers a spiritual calling that ends with his finding courage, even he didn't know he had. Great supporting roles by Shiela Tousey and Chief Ted Thin Elk. Ledgendary Native activist, muscian, and writer John Trudell, also plays an important role.

one of my all-time favorites. the story is an amalgam of actual happenings on the pine ridge reservation in the 1970's, changed a bit and put into story form. robert redford did a documentary at the time called incident at ogalala that portrayed the actual happenings in a factual format. worth watching both.
i bought this dvd to replace my vhs copy

Well of course the best part of the movie is that Val Kilmer is starring in it. He is awesome I think all of his movies are great. Also a very well written script. Again Val Kilmer doesn't let you down he plays the part as if it is real life for him as he does in all of his movies. This is a must see especially if you are a Kilmer fan.

This is an awesome movie, Val Kilmer and Graham Greene nail the roles. I LOVE the old indian chief, he is my favorite character. Anyone who like a good indian or FBI investigation will love this movie. Also the Native American POW-WOW music and dances are awesome.

Great movie! I have been looking for the movie since it first came out and it was very hard to find. It gives you chills and is sad but a movie that everyone should see with an open heart.
Thank you!

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Val Kilmer and Graham Greene click in this movie based on real events that happened in the mid 70's during the American Indian Movement. If you love Native American movies, this is a must have.

This is an excellent movie that can be watched repeatedly picking up more each time it's seen. Val Kilmer and Graham Greene were great.
