It was directed by Delmer Daves and starred Jimmy Stewart and Jeff Chandler. The film won a Golden Globe award for Best Film Promoting International Understanding, making history as the first major Western since the Second World War to side with the Native Americans.The story is a fictionalized account of events involving are Cochise and Tom Jeffords. Jeffords is responsible for mail delivery in the Arizona Territory in 1862. When Apache raiding parties shoot up some of his mail couriers, he rides alone to the camp of Cochise to parley for their safe passage. This act of bravery so impresses the chief that he becomes friend and blood brother to Jeffords. Their friendship tested and relied on in ending the decade-long Apache war.The film was a success and inspired several similar Westerns through the '50s, including Devil's Doorway and Run of the Arrow. It also led to a TV series of the same name, starring Michael Ansara as Cochise.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the 1996 John Woo film.

 As the Good Book Says...: General Howard quotes from the Bible at one point and points out that there is no mention or support for racial intolerance in the good book.

 Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: An inversion. There is relatively little action in the film, since the movie is about attempts at bringing peace in Arizona, so you have drama scenes punctuated by brief moments of action, and the biggest battle scene takes place at the end of the first third of the film.

 The Cavalry: An inversion at the end, when a group of renegade Apache attacks the Butterfield Stagecoach, Tom goes to get the support of Cochise who come marching in and chasing the renegades away. One of the stagecoach drivers notes the inversion of Indians coming to rescue the white man.
