The Last of the Mohicans

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

From the second novel of the same name of the five novels by James Fenimore Cooper set at the time of the North American colonial wars (1740-1806) come the adventures of the frontier hero Hawkeye, and the noble warriors Uncas and Big Snake, the last survivors of the noble descendants of the Mohicans. In the bloody backdrop of war which rages in the forests and on the banks of the Great Lakes, the English hunter and the two Mohicans find themselves involved in conflict with the fierce Huron chief, Magwa, and in a story of impossible love with the young English women Cora and Alice, the daughters of Colonel Munro, barricaded in Fort Henry and under siege by the French. Through traps, ambushes, fires, raids, encounters with enemy spies and firefights with hostile tribes, the three heroes and two girls, accompanied by the clumsy doctor David Gamut and the bear Nootka, undergo a long journey in the wilderness, managing to overcome the racial and cultural barriers which divides them.
