A realistic, violent, brutal and pro-Indian western from director Samuel Fuller.
In the film Charles Bronson plays the blue buffalo Sioux warrior while Rod Steiger and Jay C. Flippen play O'Meara the Rebel and the Street Coyote.
The film features an Indian wedding between O'Meara, who has been recognized as a warrior by the tribe, and the "yellow moccasin" Sioux played by Sarah Montiel....
"Run on the Arrow" caused quite a stir for its brutal content, as it contained some of the most violent scenes to date... especially considering that the film was Licensed for all audiences....

In a way, the anti-racist film was a few years ahead of the later and more popular "A Man Called Horse", the film that made Richard Harris famous in the 1970s...
In "Run on the Arrow", the story is told of O'Meara "The Rebel", who did not accept the victory of the Yankees after the Civil War and, after all the vicissitudes, prefers to live as a Sioux. ... ... ....
Married to a woman of the tribe (the aforementioned Sara Montiel as "Yellow moccasin").
For the Spanish actress, this performance means her third and last Hollywood film.
O'Meara keeps the last bullet of this lost war.

He would end up using the bullet in the tragic and brutal ending of the film, avoiding the torment of a Yankee prisoner who was savagely sacrificed in a Sioux ceremony... an act that would finally determine O'Meara's feelings: will they be those of yesterday's white man or those of a Sioux who pretends to be now.... "white man" or "redskin"!
Only after watching the movie will we know...
I've seen this film a couple of times over the years. A good solid film. I've seen Jay C. Flippin in many westerns, mostly westerns, and a few war films. He was a fine character actor. And, of course, Charles Bronson, this film being early in his career.
There was a time when Charles Bronson dominated the movie theaters.
