An 18th-century frontiersman named Kent McIntyre (Barker) is sent by the British to negotiate a peace treaty with Chief Pontiac (Chaney Jr.) but, as expected, the Indian tribe are wary of white-man promises. After the initial unsuccessful mission, McIntyre's commanding officer is replaced by the ruthless Von Webber (Kroeger) who launches a severe anti-Indian policy. A battle commences, during which, in an effort to decimate the Indians, Von Webber gives the tribe smallpox-infested blankets. Eventually, the evil Hessian gets what's coming to him, and peace is restored.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseLetterboxed - 1.85

Director Wong Kar-Wai`s style reaches its fullest expression in his stunning film 2046. Picture period sets and intricate costuming, finely wrought atmospheres, languid shots, glamorous cigarette smoke, lamplight and allusions to film noir. 2046 is a meditation on memory, eroticism, love, loss, and longing which surpasses the director`s beautiful, widely acclaimed IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000) in terms of formal ambition and visual sumptuousness. With its intriguing, layered structure, the film follows the adventures of Chow Wo Man (Tony Leung), a womanizer who is writing a science fiction novel about a future year in which all memories are suspended. The film shuttles between the BLADE RUNNER-like world of Chow`s futuristic novel (complete with androids and other metaphors of emotional disconnection) and late-`60s Hong Kong--where Chow writes from a hotel room, and engages in relationships with a series of beautiful, complex women. The film also journeys to Singapore and through the increasingly mysterious corridors of the protagonist`s memory.2046 resists tidy plot summaries with its disjointed, zigzagging construction. Yet, coupled with Wong`s rich cinematography and dazzling formal techniques, it is as fluid, associative, and labyrinthine as memory itself. Sliding between keenly detailed realism (Wong`s camera can capture the subtlest flicker of emotion in a characters` eyes) and lavish, expressionistic metaphor, the film is a deeply entrancing experience. Even given its jumbled, sometimes chaotic narrative, 2046 creates a poignant, emotionally charged, and richly rewarding experience.
