🎥 Revolt At Fort Laramie (1957) starring John Dehner, Gregg Palmer and Frances Helm
John Dehner plays Major Seth Bradner, Gregg Palmer plays Captain Jamie Tenslip and Frances Helm plays Melissa Bradner
Filmed in Utah, and set in 1861, the news of the outbreak of the civil war causes division among the troops at Fort Laramie.
The southerners, who number one-third, are allowed to give up their positions and head for the confederacy.
On the way they are ambushed by Red Cloud and the Sioux.
Trapped and running out of ammunition, the US soldiers come to their rescue.
Given the choice to carry on their journey or return to the fort, they choose the former.
Major Bradner (south) is killed in the battle with the Sioux, as Captain Tenslip (north) resumes the lead position that was given him when the troops split due to the civil war.
The Major’s daughter, Melissa, is engaged to Tenslip and in spite of the obvious differences, that seems to be still on track as the movie ends.
