Set in the early 1880s, this is the story of one of the last buffalo hunts in the Northwest. Sandy McKinzie is tired of hunting buffalo, and tired of killing-Charley on the other hand relishes the hunt and enjoys killing buffalo and Indians. When Charley kills an Indian raiding party, and takes their squaw as his own, tension develops between the two hunters, and matters will only be settled in a showdown
关于美国一个逝去的时代，很多和印第安人相关的片子都是“最后”两个字开头，不过这一次是最后的美洲野牛。当狩猎变成屠杀，人性就被放大，贪婪和负罪感早晚会把狩猎者压垮——野牛的幽灵。
“1853年，美国平原上驰骋着6千万头野牛，三十年后，也就是这个故事发生的时候，猎手与印人的杀戮已使种群数量骤降至3千只。”……虽然个人认为以好莱坞古典手法（节奏色调表演）去拍修正主义西部片存在一定程度的风格违和感，但必须承认理查德布鲁克斯此片的选材甚是独到，结尾更是震撼！你敢说库布里克在他某部经典的构思过程中没有受到其影响？
