A historical drama about the relationship between a Civil War soldier and a band of Sioux Indians. Attracted by the natural simplicity of their lifestyle, John W. Dunbar chooses to leave his former life behind to join them, taking on the name Dances with Wolves.

His peaceful existence is threatened, however, when Union soldiers arrive with designs on the Sioux land.
