Gunsmoke: The Last Apache (1990)

In the heart of the Wild West, a weathered letter, stained by time and circumstance, finds its way to U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon, a role reprised by the iconic James Arness. The sender is Mike Yardner, a woman whose past with Dillon echoes through the years. The content of the letter spurs Dillon into action, revealing that Beth, a girl he’s never met but whose blood runs in his veins, has been snatched away by Wolf, a formidable war chief under the infamous Apache leader, Geronimo. Guided by his newfound paternity and driven by a father's instinct, Dillon embarks on a perilous journey into the unforgiving desert. He teams up with an Army scout named Chalk Brighton, a seasoned tracker whose eyes have been schooled by the harsh landscape they must traverse. Their mission: to locate Geronimo’s elusive encampment and bring Beth home. In a daring attempt to secure his daughter's freedom, Dillon devises a risky gambit. He aids in the escape of two young Apache boys, nephews of Geronimo, who are held captive by the Army. He plans to use them as bargaining chips, a desperate trade for his daughter's life. But this strategy places him in the crosshairs of the relentless General Myles, who would rather see the Apache boys executed than released. Gunsmoke: The Last Apache is a thrilling tale of courage, paternal love, and the relentless pursuit of justice. As Dillon ventures into the hostile wilderness to face a renegade Apache, audiences are invited to saddle up for a riveting ride through the treacherous terrain of the Old West.
