Synopsis
The Indian Fighter (1955) is a western to watch online on iFILM, directed by André de Toth. Kirk Douglas plays Johnny Hawks, a frontier scout who brokers a fragile peace with a Sioux chief and leads a settler wagon train safely through Sioux territory in 1870s Oregon.
The truce doesn't last. A few men in the party want the tribe's gold stream badly enough to start a war over it — and they will. Walter Matthau, early in his career, plays the most dangerous schemer in the group. Italian actress Elsa Martinelli is the chief's daughter, drawn to Hawks in a way that makes the politics even more complicated.
De Toth gives the Sioux genuine grievances rather than the stock villainy most 1950s Hollywood westerns settled for — Hawks understands their position, and that's what makes him the only one who can stop the bloodshed. Stream The Indian Fighter (1955) on iFILM.
