Movie
Santa Fe Trail
Synopsis
This western is a simplistic retelling of the John Brown legend. The events leading up to the bloody confrontation between Brown and the US Army at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, are treated in an even-handed fashion: Brown's desire to free the slaves is "right," but his methods are "wrong.", A group of cavalry soldiers go to Fort Leavenworth and are given the assignment of capturing John Brown, a radical revolutionary, whose actions foreshadow the beginning of the American Civil War.
