A Man Called Horse is a 1970 feature film starring Richard Harris and directed by Elliot Silverstein.
The film is based on a short story, "A Man Called Horse", published in 1968 in the book Indian Country by Dorothy M. Johnson. Partially spoken in Sioux, the film tells the history of an English aristocrat who is captured by a Native American tribe.
Initially enslaved, he comes to respect his captors' culture and also to gain their respect. Joining the tribe, he undergoes painful initiation rites, takes the native name "Horse", and becomes a respected member of the tribe and ultimately their leader.
Two sequels to the original movie were made, both with Harris reprising his role:
