...told, was only later appropriated by the Indians in retaliation.) The film has an elegiac tone, opening at a Fourth of July celebration in 1905 attended by an old, sad-eyed Geronimo, by then something of a historical sideshow attraction. In flashbacks we see the education of a rebel, a young warrior who turns vengeful after his wife and baby are killed in a massacre by Mexican troops. A whiff of political correctness hangs over the show, as does some needlessly stilted dialogue ("The one who was my father has been gone from us many years"). But these are overcome...
...Broken Chain, which debuts a week later, goes back a century earlier to the confederacy of six Iroquois tribes, an alliance that was shattered by conflicting loyalties during the American Revolution. The focus again is on a legendary rebel -- Joseph Brant (Eric Schweig), an Iroquois warrior educated in English-speaking schools, persuaded his tribe to support the British during the revolution and later became a marauding terror to colonial settlers. The acting is more wooden and the drama more sketchy than in Geronimo. Yet the history lesson -- that principles of the Iroquois confederacy were an important influence on the American...
...Texas in the fall of 1963. Passionate rebel Kevin Costner is willing to break the rules to make a moral point. Flinty lawman Clint Eastwood is riding in a vehicle needed for President Kennedy's visit to Dallas. At first this looks like the convergence of two recent strains of Hollywood retro-history: JFK in the Line of Fire.

With military help from neighboring countries, Georgian government regulars and rebel forces have each scored important victories against the other. Using Russian-supplied T-72 tanks and personnel, troops loyal to Georgian leader Eduard Shevardnadze drove the rebels into their last redoubt, in the western region of the republic. But with the help of reinforcements from Abkhazia, the separatists staged a powerful counteroffensive, recapturing an important town...
