With a phenomenal turn from Oscar-winner Christian Bale and opulent camera work from master Masanobu Takanayagi, Hostiles cements itself as a landmark cinematic experience, not to be soon forgotten. - Awards Circuit
Scott Cooper’s Hostiles might well become this generation’s definitive Western for the way it embraces the genre’s traditions while coming to grips with the inescapable admission of our own war crimes.The Wrap
Synopsis
In 1892, legendary Army Capt. Joseph Blocker reluctantly agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief and his family back to their tribal land. Embarking on a harrowing and perilous journey from Fort Berringer, N.M., to the grasslands of Montana, they soon encounter a young widow whose family was killed on the plains. The travelers must now band together to survive a punishing landscape that’s crawling with hostile Comanches and vicious outliers.
