The Invaders
The U.S. Army and the Sioux Indians sign a peace treaty. However, a group of surveyors trespass on the Indians' land and violate the treaty. The army refuses to listen to the Indians' complaints, and the surveyors are killed by the Indians. A vicious war ensues, culminating in an Indian attack on an army fort.
