The Last Frontier (1955)

In the untamed wilderness of the Oregon backwoods, rough-hewn trapper Jed Cooper and his two compatriots trade their solitary existence for the regimented life of army scouts at a remote fort. This bastion of frontier defense is populated primarily by greenhorn soldiers, unseasoned in the hardships of frontier warfare. As Jed contemplates a shift towards a more settled lifestyle, his eyes settle on the radiant Corinna Marston, wife of the stern Colonel Marston, commander of the neighboring fort. Disaster strikes when Colonel Marston arrives, bearing the grim news of his fort's ruin at the hands of a brutal Indian onslaught. Claiming command by virtue of his rank, Marston, known for his dubious military record during the Civil War, makes a reckless decision that stokes the ire of the fort's young, yet pragmatic Captain Riordan. Marston orders the fort's ill-prepared, outnumbered garrison to confront the seasoned Indian warriors, led by the formidable Red Cloud. In the face of daunting odds and a leadership crisis, Jed Cooper and his partners must navigate the perilous terrain of military politics and impending war, grappling with their loyalties and their survival instincts. The Last Frontier paints a vivid canvas of the harsh realities of frontier life, the tension of military command, and the looming specter of a clash between civilization and the untamed wild.
