DANCES WITH WOLVES (1990)

Through happenstance, Lt. John Dunbar leads his Union troop to victory in the Civil War. Requesting a position on the Western frontier, Dunbar finds his new post deserted, save for a lone wolf he names "Tow-socks," and a local Indian tribe. Upon befriending the Indians, Dunbar discovers a white woman living among the Natives. In time, Dunbar sheds his "Westernized" ways and begins to live among the Indians as one of their own. By with the Western expansion taking over the frontier, Dunbar will be forced to choose between his ways of old and his new life, which, of course, bears permanent effect on his newfound family.
