Hostiles

Circa 1892, settler Rosalee Quaid and her family are attacked by a Comanche war group who kill her husband and three children. Rosalee escapes by hiding under a rock outcrop.

In Fort Berringer, New Mexico, soon-to-retire Captain Joseph Blocker is ordered by Colonel Abraham Biggs to escort Yellow Hawk, a Cheyenne war chief who is dying of cancer, and four members of his family back to their tribal lands in Montana, under the order of President Harrison. Blocker, who loathes Native Americans, initially refuses the assignment as Yellow Hawk had been responsible for the deaths of several of his soldiers during a battle. However, under threat of court-martial and loss of his pension, Blocker is forced to accept the orders. Blocker sets out for Montana accompanied by his old friend First Sergeant Thomas Metz, long-time aide Corporal Woodson, West Point newcomer Lieutenant Kidder, and young French-speaking recruit Private Dejardin.
