I remember watching this movie when it first aired on television in 1991. It's clearly the most accurate movie regarding the battle to this point.

The most accurate telling of the Custer story I have ever seen . Fabulous

It even showed that the soldiers had difficulty in reloading

The best portrayal of the LBH ever recorded uniforms spot on no Hollywood yellow neckerchiefs no swords which was completely accurate..fantastic film.and historically correct

This is one of my favorite films of all time. One I keep watching over and over again since 1991.

Absolutely loved this movie!!!

This is the best movie/series so far done about Custer’s Last Stand. Gary Cole did a great job in portraying General Custer. The rest of the cast were very good as well.

I tell people who only know him as Mr. Lumbergh from Office Space or Mike Brady from The Brady Bunch films on how he's a really versatile actor, and knocked it outta the park portraying Gen. Custer. I hope someday, Shout Factory does a release of this.

Really wish they would bring out a remastered version of this film, the only ones I can find are in terrible condition yet I can find copies of older miniseries like Roots and Winds of War that look much better.

Renactors know their stuff . I'm a civil war reenactor .been doing it since 1994 . loving it all the way.

Definately one of the best movies on the Battle of the Little Big Horn

The best

One of the best movies ever.

This was a really good movie, I really enjoyed. Good writing and well acted.

Outstanding! Never seen this before. The movie itself will hopefully one day be released on DVD or Blu-ray.

Never knew this documentary existed. Enjoyed watching it. Thank you for sharing it.

I’m amazed by the expanse of the battle site.

Great mini series, i didn't know about Custer being a father of a Native American child. My ancestor in the 5th Illinois cavalry rode with Custer to Hempstead, Tx in June 1865.

He wasn't that's a myth, like them saying he wanted to be president in the beginning. He might have wanted to be head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs .

I like it when people straighten out truth &-facts- from fiction . I enjoyed this

Nicholas, Thanks for sharing this interesting documentary about the filming of this mini-series. I had read Evan Connell's book "Son of the Morning Star" and then had the pleasure to watch the 1991 production on which it was based starring Gary Cole. I certainly enjoyed viewing the behind the scenes footage of one of my all time favorite made for T.V. productions.

Excellent job, one of my favorite movies, have it on VHS and I have been to the Little Big Horn battlefield many times. I tell other people there visiting to watch this move as it's the most realistic one made.

Nice. Enjoyed this. Seen the Tv-movie probably a dozen times but never saw this documentary until now.

FIRST CLASS movie. Very true to the book and as much as is known about the final part of the battle. Wish I could get a good DVD copy here in the UK without it costing the earth ! I bought a copy and the quality was AWFUL! THANKS to all involved in this FINE movie and all the actors especially Gary Cole for his portrayal of Custer Great to see a movie that shows Native Americans as the victims that they were.

Shame this never came out on dvd....I’m still hoping

The movie inspired me to visit Lttle Bighorn Battlefield in 1993. Very accurate recreation of the battle in my opinion. Montana is beautiful.

THANK YOU for posting this. It's an incredible movie sadly nearly impossible to obtain in the USA

There is no evidence that Custer had any political aspirations. He was a soldier. This was a very good movie though

If you like the movie read the book you won’t regret it.

Great movie close to what happened but not that many men around custer at end

Wow, this is worth watching just for 1:23, how they fake arrows hitting people!

good thinks happened !!

And even John Ford would say, "Damn good job"!

Since there is no dvd release when could one find this movie/documentary in decent to high quality?

when can we expect a blu-ray copy of this movie

They've never had a DVD. Production company went belly-up.

Epic story, but as someone who was raised around Quarter Horses, I am freaking TIRED of what Hollywood does with horses...they DO NOT naturally fall and anyone then or now, with an ounce of horse sense knows that that is not how ya ride...especially the cavalry! Your horse is the most important part of your job. They are living, breathing creatures, and your life's blood in the wilderness. Lose your mount in the middle of the prairie, and your're toast. Sorry for the rant...I'm just sayin'! And I'm right...

His hat is pinned on the wrong side.

It was a good day to die. ✊🏽

I'm doing this for hwk. Goodbye!!! Have a nice day!!!! 😁

Custer did not charge the camp with 200 men he split his forces after reaching the encampment

¡ No era general, su verdadero rango era el de teniente coronel ! No hay que confundir.

If they wanted accuracy, why use Evan S Connells book? There is a lot of facts missing from this.

SgtBaker16 not really bud. This series was from 91 wasn't it? You had Utleys book, Camps notes etc that make it very clear Custers 5 companies were made up of 2 wings that separated plus no Boston Custer ride back and forth. Too many characters weren't even in it!

Condense things maybe, but they also changed a lot. Check your history

I would liked to have seen a more 'Authentic....looking Custer....

Recent Battlefield research indicates that a lot of these immigrant 7th Troops shot wildly in a frightened panic. Custer took his own life in the end in reality.

@davidchampkin5999

I believe panic set in when the Indians got within 200 yards of the troopers the effective range of the Henry Rifle Then their Henry Repeating Rifles could fire 13 shots in 30 seconds as opposed by the Springfield Carbine which although was effective upto 600yds could only fire 4 shots in 30 seconds . I think the Indians getting close caused the collapse of Keogh and then panic.
