The White Buffalo

The White Buffalo

Two legendary enemies unite to fight the charging white beast!!

PG 1977 · 97 min · ★ 6.0 · Western, Adventure, Action

In this strange western version of Moby Dick, Wild Bill Hickok hunts a white buffalo he has seen in a dream. Hickok moves through a variety of uniquely authentic western locations - dim, filthy, makeshift taverns; freezing, slaughterhouse-like frontier towns and beautifully desolate high country - before improbably teaming up with a young Crazy Horse to pursue the creature.

Directed by J. Lee Thompson · Written by Richard Sale
