The untamed beauty and harsh realities of the American frontier collide in this gripping historical epic. The story begins in 1876, when a passionate young Sioux named White Bull captures and meticulously trains a magnificent wild stallion he names Tonka. Their bond is cut short when tribal customs force White Bull to surrender the horse to his abusive cousin, Yellow Bull. Unable to watch the stallion's spirit be systematically broken, White Bull sets Tonka free, leading to the horse's capture by the U.S. Cavalry. Renamed Comanche, the stallion is partnered with the honorable Captain Myles Keogh, setting both horse and rider on a fateful collision course with history.
