The story follows General George Armstrong Custer's adventures from his West Point days to his death. He defies orders during the Civil War, trains the 7th Cavalry, appeases Chief Crazy Horse and later engages in bloody battle with the Sioux nation.

VIBE

A sweeping, romanticized epic of a legendary general's life. It's a grand, patriotic spectacle with a tragic, inevitable end, told with classic Hollywood flair. Feels like a bygone era of filmmaking.
