Director Michael Mann based this lushly romantic version of the James Fenimore Cooper novel more on his memory of the 1936 film version (starring Randolph Scott) than on Cooper's novel (in fact, Philip Dunne's 1936 screenplay is cited as source material for this film). Set in the 1750s during the French and Indian War, the story concerns Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis), the European-born adopted son of Mohican scout Chingachgook (Russell Means). Hawkeye and his party, which also includes the Mohican Uncas (Eric Schweig), joins up with a group of Britons who have recently arrived in the Colonies. The group consists of Cora Munro (Madeleine Stowe) and her younger sister, Alice (Jodhi May), who are rescued from a Huron war party by Hawkeye. Hawkeye's band accompanies them to the British Fort William Henry, which is being besieged by a French and Huron force. The fort falls to the French, and Colonel Munro (Maurice Roeves) surrenders to French General Montcalm (Patrice Chéreau). The terms of the surrender are that the British merely abandon the fort and return to their homes. However, the French's bloodthirsty ally, the Huron warrior Magua (Wes Studi), has made no such agreement, and, as the British retreat from the fort, he plans to massacre them in a terrible Huron attack. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Those who were disapointed with the DVD of this beautiful film rejoice!! The Blu-Ray version is superb and closest to the theatrical/VHS version. For those who have never seen it, Blu-Ray is the best version

It took me 13-years but I finally saw Last of the Mohicans. This is a really great movie. Great directing, great acting, LOVE, LOVE the music, and the cinema photography EXCELLENT! I'm just kicking myself for not watching this any sooner. I'm reviewing the Blu-ray Directors Definitive Cut version. I highly recommend this film. An A+ from start to climatic finish. Daniel Day-Lewis, what can I say? He's just awesome. Madeline Stowe has regal and beautiful as ever. Eric Schweig was just fantastic as Uncas. Like I said awesome, awesome movie!!!!
