Sent to protect a U.S. outpost on the desolate American frontier, Lt. Dunbar befriends a tribe of Sioux Indians. What follows is a series of unforgettable moments - from Dunbar's tender scenes with Stands With A Fist to the thrilling, action-packed buffalo hunt. "Costner tells a personal story that never loses touch with the vast Western spaces encompassing and defining it. Dances With Wolves is an epic that breathes. And it's a beauty."--Rolling Stone "As a director, Costner is alive to the sweep of the country and the expansive spirit of the western-movie tradition."--TIME Magazine "Dances With Wolves is a clear-eyed vision. Authentic as an Edward Curtis photograph, lyrical as a George Catlin oil or a Karl Bodmer landscape, this is a film with a pure ring to it."--Los Angeles Times
