"Yul Brynner is back for another epic film, this time playing the role of a charismatic leader of a tribe of (so-called) Indigenous people. He immediately is taken hostage by the invading peoples, and must make a decision to keep peace. As with most epic films of these times, unfortunately, tribal people and others are not well represented. Some of the actors used in this film looked laughable playing Indigenous people. Despite that, the straightforward plot and Yul Brynner drove the story forward. There are also some battle scenes which are somewhat impressive for the time period."
