In 1866 the U.S. Government and the leaders of the Sioux Nations met to negotiate a passage through Indian territory, when gold is discovered in the mountains of Montana. Unable to reach an agreement, the U.S. Cavalry defy the peace treaty and build a fort to protect their new road. Van Heflin stars as Jim Bridger, a scout hired by the cavalry and the only man capable of defusing the powder-keg situation. Against the backdrop of a potential war, Bridger must also face personal demons when he runs into Lieutenant Rob Dancy, a bigoted army officer with a dark history.
