Thunderheart

Kilmer stars as Ray Levoi, a hotshot FBI agent who´s thrust into a strange new world when he is sent to solve a murder on an Indian reservation. Hand-picked because of his part-Sioux ancestry, Levoi is teamed with a legendary older agent to capture a radical Indian protester. But once on the reservation, Levoi encounters the irreverent local sheriff, and the tribe´s religious leader, who knows secrets about Levoi´s own lost heritage. And as Levoi´s awareness of the native culture grows, so does his belief that the U.S. government has framed an innocent man.
