Squanto: A Warrior's Tale

It's the 17th century, and Native American Squanto roams free in the New World until he's captured by visiting sailors who take him back to England. Monk Brother Daniel teaches him social customs, but other Englishmen aren't as kind. Squanto becomes the unwilling star of performances that highlight his fighting skills, but he eventually engineers a return trip to America. He finds that his home has changed forever, and he must chart a new path for his people.

Directed by Xavier Koller, Squanto: A Warrior's Tale leans on a strong ensemble — Adam Beach, Sheldon Peters Wolfchild, Irene Bedard — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1994.
