Directed by John Hoffman and starring James Ellison, Virginia Herrick, and Chief Thundercloud in the role of Geronimo, the film has been described as a "silly but likeable"[1] B movie. It is based around the fictional murder of Geronimo - who in reality died of pneumonia at the age of 79 after a fall from his horse in February 1909, while still a prisoner of the United States at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.[2]
