Episode 485: Thunderheart (1992)

Thunderheart (1992)Watch the trailer!

Our second film honoring Graham Greene, who passed away on September 1st, 2025, brings us to a much more recent historical story. Loosely based on the Wounded Knee Incident of 1973, and directed by Michael Apted, 1992's "Thunderheart" follows FBI Agent Ray Levoi (Val Kilmer) who, because of his Sioux heritage, is assigned to investigate a murder on a Native American reservation in the west. Upon arriving, Levoi reports to his superior officer, and a hero of Levoi's, Agent Frank 'Cooch" Coutelle (Sam Shepard). As the two agents begin investigating the murder, they run into Walter Crow Horse (Graham Greene), a Tribal police officer who immediately butts heads with the two federal officers. Levoi and Coutelle run down a list of suspect until they have only two: Maggie Eagle Bear (Sheila Tousey) and Jimmy Looks Twice (John Trudell). In addition, Coutelle warns Ray about two other factions - the local white militia headed by Jack Milton (Fred Ward) and the local chapter of AIM (the American Indian Movement). But it is encounters both with the local medicine man, Grandpa Sam Reaches (Ted Thin Elk) and Maggie's grandmother Maisy Blue Legs (Sarah Brave) that lead Ray to begin experiencing visions and connecting with the heritage he's ignored all his life. But which will win out in the end... Ray's devotion to the FBi or his new-found spiritual awakening? And who killed Leo Fast Elk (Allan R. J. Joseph)? And finally, the trio reveal which MCU films will be featured in the next pairing!
