I'm reading a summary of the John Wayne film Hondo:
A hard-boiled cavalry scout with a feral dog as companion stumbles across a woman and her child stranded on their homestead deep inside hostile territory. Despite repeated attacks by the Apaches, they refuse to leave their home, leaving the scout with no choice but to stay and defend her. Western, starring John Wayne, Geraldine Page, Ward Bond and Michael Pate.
This sounds highly unlikely to me:
1. Why would anyone have built a homestead 'deep inside hostile territory'? Surely you just wouldn't.
2. Repeated attacks by Apaches, huh? Are they saying that the woman and child have never run out of ammo and that a woman ad child can hold off maybe 10 or 20 Apache warriors?
To me, the premise of this film sounds like nonsense. Is it? Or did stuff like that really happen?
