He becomes an Indian warrior in the most electrifying ritual ever seen!
"A MAN CALLED HORSE" is an extraordinary story about a most extraordinary man. It stars Richard Harris as an English lord who has turned away from the aristocratic society of 1825. Whilst on a hunting expedition in the American Dakotas he is captured by Sioux Indians and made a beast of burden, undergoing enormous mental and physical tortures to prove his manhood in their savage culture. He is dragged naked, tied to a horse, hoisted twelve feet in the air for the controversial Sun Vow sequence, and endures terrible violence during the fierce battle sequences. "A MAN CALLED HORSE" is a totally authentic motion picture, a statement of the courage, discipline and savagery of the Indians as they were prior to the white man's plundering of their birthrights.
