Movies that feel likeThe Last of the Mohicans (1992)

In war-torn colonial America, in the midst of a bloody battle between British, the French and Native American allies, the aristocratic daughter of a British Colonel and her party are captured by a group of Huron warriors. Fortunately, a group of three Mohican trappers comes to their rescue.

If you loved The Last of the Mohicans, the closest films we have are Stalingrad (1993), The Thin Red Line (1998) and Ran (1985). All three share The Last of the Mohicans' epic and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Flame & Citron (2008).
