Best acting job by Widmark and Carradine, 26 December 2002
Author: rockyjon2003 from USA
Carradine is remarkable as he becomes Tom Horn and Widmark Playing a crippled up old scout was magnificent.Supporting cast and direction were top drawer. No movie was better made than than this TV endeaver.I can never forget Widmark saying to Mr. Horn " My good leg is now my bad leg".

Not very historical..., 1 August 2001
Author: (patrick.hunter@csun.edu) from Northridge, Ca
Sorry, but this film is not the most historical film made concerning Tom Horn. Not one authoritative source on Geronimo--neither Davis's autobiography nor Angie Debo's definitive biography nor any other--state that Horn had anything to do with capturing Geronimo; he wasn't even on the massive U.S. campaign, let alone serve as the one to bring the Apache in (the 1993 movie GERONIMO with Jason Patric probably portrays the capture most accurately). So this movie's whole first half is all largely fiction, based probably on the lies and tall tales the real Tom Horn liked to claim for himself (on a side note to this, John Dehner plays an unsympathetic Horn-like character in the Burt Lancaster movie APACHE, with John McIntyre as Al Sieber). The second half is little better; General Crook, for instance, shows up in a time period when historically he was long already dead.
That said, I must say I enjoy this TV movie a good deal and wish that it would get released. It deserves a viewing...but don't confuse it with history.

Probably most historical movie account, 17 September 1999
Author: Miles-10 from Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
Did Tom Horn, otherwise a distinguished scout and interpreter for the US cavalry, really murder a defenseless boy? This movie seems to imply that Horn was framed, but here, as in history, the question is never answered for certain. This is probably the most historically faithful of the four movies about Tom Horn. It even includes the figure of Horn's mentor, Al Sieber (Richard Widmark), and alludes to Horn's career high-point when he negotiated the peaceful surrender of Geronimo.

Predecessor of Geronimo (with Duvall, Jason Patrick)?, 28 September 1999
Author: Hermes-12 from SW USA
We should watch this one together. (Active participation). Experiment with applied will. We are pretty crafty. We've made it this far, give it all you've got. Sha, booya, sha, sha, sha booya. Role call: I AM here, are you? Now let me hear you sing.
