Director Christopher Cain takes an up-close look at the devastation wrought by religious fanaticism with this romantic drama set against the backdrop of the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre. As a wagon train of westward-bound settlers makes its way across southern Utah, a confrontation with a congregation of Mormons soon leads to deadly consequences for all involved.
Jon Voight,
Lolita Davidovich and
Jon Gries co-star in a historical drama centered on the massacre, which continues to stir controversy over a century and a half after the fact;
Terence Stamp and
Dean Cain contribute small roles as Brigham Young and Joseph Smith, respectively - who were not directly involved with the massacre but are pictured in flashbacks. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
