Dances with Wolves (1990)

Poster for Dances with Wolves

Inside everyone is a frontier waiting to be discovered.

Wounded Civil War soldier John Dunbar tries to commit suicide—and becomes a hero instead. As a reward, he's assigned to his dream post, a remote junction on the Western frontier, and soon makes unlikely friends with the local Sioux tribe.
