Silent Tongue

Sam Shepard directs this tale, circa 1873, of a young half-Native American who's kidnapped from her drunken white father by a cowboy named Prescott Roe. Seems Roe wants her for his grief-stricken son, Talbot, who's recently lost his own wife. With the girl's father in quick pursuit, Roe's son must reconcile his past and present if he's to figure out what to do. Alan Bates, Richard Harris, River Phoenix and Dermot Mulroney star.
