Broken Arrow · 1950 · VHS · 1993 Release · James Stewart
(not the 1996 John Travolta action movie)

A landmark Western drama centered on the real‑life peace efforts between U.S. Army scout Tom Jeffords and Apache leader Cochise, presenting one of Hollywood’s earliest attempts at a more respectful, humanized portrayal of Native American characters. The 1993 VHS sits in that clean early‑’90s Fox reissue lane: crisp artwork, stable stock, and strong shelf presence.

Tomato Score: 86% — praised for its performances, progressive (for its era) perspective, and emotional sincerity.
