After a bus carrying several convicts in Oregon overturns and several prisoners manage to escape into an especially harsh and dangerous part of the country, the local sheriff decides to dispatch a highly regarded bounty hunter by the name of "Lewis Gates" (Tom Berenger) to locate and bring them back in. However, to his horror, when he finally catches up to them he discovers a massive amount of blood and some clothes belonging to the convicts-but no bodies. And it's then that he finds an arrow of some sort on the scene as well. So to help him understand what is going on he drives several hours out of his way to locate a professor of Native American studies named "Lillian Diane Sloan" (Barbara Hershey) in the hope that she can give him some answers. Unfortunately, what she tells him is so fantastic that nobody else will believe him. That being the case, he gets Professor Sloan to accompany him out into this part of the wilderness so that they can somehow piece together a puzzle that has eluded everybody in America for decades. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a very entertaining film which benefited from the beautiful scenery, decent acting and an engaging plot. Admittedly, there were a couple of scenes which were a bit unrealistic but that's Hollywood for you. Be that as it may, I enjoyed this film and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
