The Invaders review

Francis Ford's 40-minute epic sees the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes uniting against the white man after the US government reneges on an agreement not to trespass on their land. The storyline is fairly thin, to be honest, with a romantic sub-plot concerning the daughter of the Sioux Chief and a young surveyor going nowhere, and serving only to give her the sketchiest of reasons for warning a cavalry unit at the nearby fort of her father's plans to wipe them out. The scenes of the attack on the fort capture the mayhem of battle, but are also rather confusing.
