Hostiles (15)
In this 19th-century-set western an Army captain agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief back to his tribal lands. Setting out through dangerous territory, much of it inhabited by hostile tribes, the small band of soldiers and Cheyenne navigate the beautiful prairies and wilds of the west, while facing a series of challenges. Blocker (Bale) is a racist, a man who harbours a deep hatred towards the former prisoners now placed in his care. As the challenges mount, he is forced to confront his own bigotry while carrying out his orders. To complicate matters, the ragged party is joined by a stricken widow who has just seen her family massacred in a raid.
Hostiles cuts relentlessly into the complex, troubled relationship between those who have lived on this land for centuries and the white intruder, posing the question: is reconciliation possible?
