    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Throughout the movie the name of Custer's subordinate is incorrectly being pronounced as "Benton" when his name actually "Benteen"
    • Goofs
      The Little Bighorn battlefield was all wrong. The movie depicted a flat, desert terrain. In reality, Custer's last stand took place among steep, grassy hills overlooking a winding river.
