"Last of the Mohicans" (1992) is based on the novel by James Fenimore Cooper. The action takes place during the French and Indian War. Magua (Wes Studi) (Huron Tribe fighting with the French) has a bitter grudge against Colonol Edmund Munro and his two daughters (Madeleine Stowe and Jodhi May). He attacks a column that is taking the girls to their father. They are rescued by Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) (adopted Mohican) and his Mohican brother and father. This draws him into the war on the side of the British. He becomes enamored with one of the daughter's, and there are several scenes when they are longing each other. Hawkeye takes them to the fort, which is under siege, where the girl's father is in command. The British and French reach agreement where the British are allowed to leave. However Magua and the Huron warriors pursue them, leading to a great battle. The Colonel is killed, and Hawkeye again escapes with the girls. However they are about to be captured, and Hawkeye leaves them with a promise to return and effect a rescue.
This movie has lots of good action; there are at least three battle scenes. The last of the Mohicans is always coming to the rescue, but will he arrive in time.
