Five years after the end of the Civil War, Capt. Jefferson Kyle Kidd crosses paths with a 10-year-old girl taken by the Kiowa people. Forced to return to her aunt and uncle, Kidd agrees to escort the child across the harsh and unforgiving plains of Texas. However, the long journey soon turns into a fight for survival as the traveling companions encounter danger at every turn -- both human and natural.
Westerns have never really been my thing so I tend to have no expectations for them. There is just something about them that has made it really hard for them to hook me. This one kind of did though. It did a great job of kind of taking you there and feeling like you were in those times. Tom Hanks is Tom Hanks and the story progression was good. The only real knock that I'll make towards this movie was that I feel like it definitely didn't need to be as long as it was and that made it drag at points.
I would recommend anyone that was interested in it. It is definitely a decent watch. Not a must see by any means but a decent watch.
