- THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS
(1992)
Daniel Day-Lewis (pictured) stars in a visually stunning adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 classic. The story is set in New York's Adirondack Mountains in 1757, during the French and Indian War. British-born Alice and Cora Munro (Jodhi May, Madeleine Stowe) are being escorted by Maj. Duncan Heyward (Steven Waddington) through the wilderness to join their father, Col. Edmund Munro (Maurice Roeves), at Fort William Henry, which is under siege by the French. En route, they're betrayed by their scout, Magua (Wes Studi), and ambushed by Hurons. But they're rescued by the Mohican Chingachgook (Russell Means), his son Uncas (Eric Schweig) and the woodsman Hawkeye (Day-Lewis), an orphan of massacred white settlers. What follows is a series of adventures as they try to get the women to safety, during which Hawkeye forms an attachment to Cora. TV veteran Michael Mann (Miami Vice) directed this 1992 film, which won an Oscar for its sound. Rated R for violence. Gen. Montcalm: Patrice Chereau. Winthrop: Edward Blatchford. Cameron: Terry Kinney. (1:55)

This week, he's wearing his heart on his sleeve at Wounded Knee in a TV-movie from Jane Fonda's production company. It's the coming-of-age saga of an aimless young woman (Irene Bedard) who finds her "soul" when she joins the American Indian Movement's '73 occupation of the 1890 massacre site.

Daniel Day-Lewis (pictured) stars in a visually stunning
adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 classic.
The story is set in New York's Adirondack Mountains in
1757, during the French and Indian War. British-born Al-
ice and Cora Munro (Jodhi May, Madeleine Stowe) are
being escorted by Maj. Duncan Heyward (Steven Wad-
dington) through the wilderness to join their father, Col.
Edmund Munro (Maurice Roeves), at Fort William Henry,
which is under siege by the French. En route, they're be-
trayed by their scout, Magua (Wes Studi), and ambushed
by Hurons. But they're rescued by the Mohican Chingach-
gook (Russell Means), his son Uncas (Eric Schweig) and
the woodsman Hawkeye (Day-Lewis), an orphan of mas-
sacred white settlers. What follows is a series of adven-
tures as they try to get the women to safety, during which
Hawkeye forms an attachment to Cora.
