Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for adventure fans and history buffs. If you loved Dances with Wolves or News of the World, start here.
The mood: Intense.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1936: an older pace and style.

The story is set in the British province of New York during the French and Indian War, and concerns—in part—a Huron massacre (with passive French acquiescence) of between 500 to 1,500 Anglo-American troops, who had honorably surrendered at Fort William Henry, plus some women and servants; the kidnapping of two sisters, daughters of the British commander; and their rescue by the last Mohicans.
