Directed by: Hugh Hudson
Cast in alphabetical order:
Leonard Maltin gives this film a BOMB rating, noting that a "ludicrous script and acting
sink some splendid production values. Pacino, two centuries too contemporary to be
convincing, is the trapper whose boat and son are conscripted by the Continental Army;
Kinski is the headstrong rebel from a family of Tories."
