Dove Review

This is an adventurous movie of one young boy’s journey to find his sister who was taken by a mysterious band of Indians that no one has ever seen. Young Sam will not give up and along with his crazy guide, Russia, he risks his life to save his sister.

Sam’s sister always taught him things from the Bible, including the idea that if you love someone, you should be willing to give up your life for them. Sam carried that idea with him and when he finds her he must pass a test of endurance to take her place.

Everyone must remember that this movie was made in the 70s and not everything in this movie is politically correct, but it is a charming story of the old west. With the beautiful scenery and a crazy prospector to add to its credits, it is an entertaining dramatic tale. We award this movie the Dove “Family-Approved” 12+ Seal.
