Synopsis

An Indian warrior pursues a band of Spanish Conquistadors
who have enslaved his wife.
In the winter of 1541 AD, Naloo a Navajo mercenary is returning home to his Zuni wife, Pavati, who lives with his dead wife’s tribe of Utes. Weighed down by his travel bags full of the spoils from fighting in the Aztec wars, he rescues a Hopi girl, Doli from her Spanish captors and makes her his slave girl to carry his valuables homeward. Meanwhile Spanish raiders capture Pavati, and in a confrontation with Naloo, the Spanish dullard Arturo kills Pavati, thus destroying any hopes of peace making. The Spaniards flee taking Doli with them.
After burying his wife, Naloo pursues the Spaniards. Meanwhile Diego, the leader of the Spanish band realises they are lost when they encounter the Anzasi, who are the native bandits of the high sierras. The Spaniards elude them, but Naloo makes a bargain with the unruly Anzasi, paying them to help him find the Spaniards. As Naloo continues to hunt them down, fearful of having to spend the winter in a hostile land, the Spaniards begin to panic and fight among themselves.

George Best was one of the greatest footballers who ever lived. But he was so much more than that. Although the football pitch was his arena, Best was essentially a pop star - young, stylish, strikingly beautiful, possessed of a creative confidence that bordered on arrogance, and worshipped by young men and women alike. Like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.<br /> This film is simultaneously a celebration of a genius and an exploration of the demons that brought him down. We all know how these biopics traditionally work: in this case a talented but innocent young man from the backstreets of a divided but still pre-Troubles Belfast, becomes a star. But his time at the top is agonizingly short: a family history of alcoholism doesn’t help, in those pre-drug Sixties everyone wanted to buy him a drink, and before he was thirty, he was a washed up drunk. <br /> But we’re taking the Benjamin Button approach here. No-one wants to go out on a downer, with the end card telling us how many hundreds of thousands lined the streets of his home town to bid him farewell, along with the millions watching on live television.
