A trapper, his beautiful daughter, and an Indian servant live in peaceful isolation until they begin to spot evidence that proves they are not as alone as they thought. After a few days of worry and watchfulness, the trapper decides to investitgate. Leaving his daughter at home, he and his servant begin to hunt for the brazen Indian brave who has watched them every evening...just out of firing range. The hunt proves fruitless and the two return home only to find Beth (trapper's daughter) missing. And so we watch as those two take off in a pursuit that will lead them deep into dangerous Indian territory.

Meanwhile, Beth, who is terrified of her Indian captor, tries desperately to gain her freedom. However, as he takes her farther and farther from the only home she has ever known, he shows her unbelievable kindness and understanding. Beth, almost unwillingly, falls for the man she comes to know as Grayeagle, but their different heritages and the mystery of why he kidnapped her will have to be overcome before they can be together...if they can be together.

A really romantic and engaging western. It has its imperfections, at least by the standards of we modern viewers who are used to equally modern technology, but considering that it rather an older film, it's really quite remarkable and can easily be forgiven a lot.

I was awaken to the music/soundtrack from this movie. I had never heard of Alex Cord until the music peaked my interest.
This is a very well written narrative. The Depiction of the loving High Cheyenne Warrior towards the great elderly dying Cheyenne Indian chief, Running Wolf, was very touching. The means he went through to make this great chiefs dream come true was realistic of the dedication some nationalities have towards their elderly. Americans toss aside their elderly as if they are of no value to society after a certain age. However this movie shows the Indian heritage as truly realizing the value of the wisdom our ancestors and seniors provide.

I have enjoyed this movie each time I have viewed it. I love the scenes of gentleness Greyeagle demonstrates so subtly towards Lana Wood as Beth Coulter and observing the tenderness between the young Running Wolf and the beautiful actress who protrays Ida Coulter, Beth's mother.

Alex Cord is fantastic as Greyeagle. A striking, strong portrayal of an Indian Warrior. What woman would not be amazed at this man's features and demonstration of strength with regards to his dedication to a cause.

It would be well worth anyones time to view the truly sweet, innocent and thought provoking movie. Rarely do you find a movie so sweet with no vulgarity at all.

This is not a very flashy review, but I remember seeing this movie when it came out at the theaters when I was 12. I fell in love with it then and I still love it now. It is one of my all time favorites. You can't go wrong with a cast like Ben Johnson, Iron Eyes Cody and Alex Cord. It is an all around good old fashion movie.

I ejoyed this movie very much. I found the story was good. There is NO filthy language, NO sex or nudity. Slow moving in parts, but a good clean movie. Alex Cord as Grayeagle was of little words, yet witty. If your tired of all the movies,(that can't be made without the dirty language and sex) like I am. You may like this one.

I really enjoyed this movie cause it did show the Indian grayeagle a kind person. I loved it when each day she beth learned about who she is and not what she was lead to believe. I loved it cause it was a clean movie withno language what so ever. I wish they had more scences for each time they moved from one place and at the end a little longer with chief running wolf her father that she found out about. I hope for more movies like this one especially about the Indians

Groan. This low budget oater is full of every "noble savage" cliche in the book (who can forget Scar offering 3 horses for Beth and then fighting Grayeagle for her). The best that can be said for this movie is that their hearts were in the right place, and the scenery is gorgeous. Plus they did cast Iron Eyes Cody as one of the leads. The lead actress, however, can't really act, and whoever cast Alex Cord as Grayeagle should have their head examined. He is an adequate actor in Western roles but at the time this movie was made there were some American Indian actors perfectly capable of playing this role. Vies with Winterhawk for worst '70's picture in this vein.

Great movie showing indians as people with a great story. Daughter of a white trapper is kidnapped by a Cheyenne High Warrior: Grayeagle. Trapper and his indian friend pursue. But there is a twist. See this movie ! It is poignant and fun !

This late-seventies movie had lovely cinematography and haunting music, but beyond that there's little to hold the viewer's interest. The film lacked direction and important plot details were sketchy or entirely missing. The transition of the girl from kidnap victim to grateful granddaughter was hazy; it took a couple rewinds for us to figure out what the heck the old man's relationship to her was, and we're no slackers when it comes to following a storyline. There just seemed to be no discernible direction; it felt like a vignette rather than an honest film. Grayeagle came across as an ambitious movie that overreached itself and fell flat. Its political correctness made it even less palatable. The acting was fine on the part of Alex Cord and Ben Johnson, as well as many of the Indians, but the girl was awful, unable to evoke much from the viewer except annoyance or pity. The only reason we watched it is we're big Alex Cord fans, but felt like this movie was a waste of his talent and our time. It did have hints of romance but went absolutely nowhere in that area, either, leaving us puzzled instead of edified. Recommended only to huge fans of Alex Cord or Ben Johnson.

I first saw this movie about 20 years ago, and it remains my very favorite movie. The characters, music, storyline,etc makes me want to see it again and again. I'm told it was remodeled after The Searchers which I've never seen-but every actor in it did a marvelous job.

Just recently saw this again on THIS network . Loved it again & luckily remembered not to miss the real ending which happens during the credits .
Admit to changing the channel during of some of Jack Elams Gross Out scenes .But overall this movie will always be one of my favorites & as I said in my title I hope it does come out on dvd some day .
