What happens

Broken Arrow is a 1950 American independent revisionist Western drama film directed by Delmer Daves and starring James Stewart, Jeff Chandler and Debra Paget. The film is based on historical figures but fictionalizes their story in dramatized form. It was nominated for three Academy Awards and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Film Promoting International Understanding. Film historians have said that the film was one of the first major Westerns to portray Native American sympathetically. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
