Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hostiles is a 2017 western film written, directed and co-produced by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart, Black Mass).It tells the story of a legendary, hardened army captain named Joe Blocker (Christian Bale) tasked with escorting a dying Cheyenne war chief (Wes Studi) and his family back to their tribal lands in Montana. Along the way, they're joined by Rosalee (Rosamund Pike), a woman who lost her family in a devastating Comanche attack. Blocker is less than enthralled about taking care of a man who was responsible for the deaths of many of his own men in the past, but the harsh circumstances the party faces press them to join forces in order to survive the many challenges along the way.

Anyone Can Die: By the end of the film, the majority of the cast has died. Private Desjardins is killed fairly early on by the Comanche. Wills kills Lieutenant Kidder in an escape bid. Metz kills himself after he tracked down and killed Wills. Yellow Hawk succumbs to his cancer, shortly thereafter his son Black Hawk and his son's wife Elk Woman are killed. Only Blocker, Rosalee and Little Bear (Yellow Hawk's grandson) are alive by the film's end.

Big Bad: Averted, as noted under Disc-One Final Boss there is no real primary antagonist. The closest the film comes to is a Final Boss in the landowner who doesn't want any Indians buried on his land.

All for Nothing: Blocker technically manages to get Yellow Hawk to Montana before he dies, but the rest of the party except for Little Bear is killed, and Rosalee leaves with him for Chicago anyway.
