The 10 Best 90s Westerns You Need To See

Before Kevin Costner thrilled audiences with his rendition of Wyatt Earp, he hit it out of the park with Dances with Wolves. This epic ‘90s western was directed by Costner, who also stars in the film.

It tells the story of Lt. John Dunbar who, after almost losing his foot in the American Civil War, gets a transfer to Fort Sedgwick, Colorado, where he is to take command. Upon his arrival, Dunbar finds the small military post deserted. Sticking to his orders Dunbar begins to clean up the post.

His stay at the post is interrupted by a small group of Sioux Indians who attempt to steal his horse. Unsuccessful, Dunbar and the Sioux, led by Graham Greene’s Kicking Bird, begin a slow build of a relationship that will take them from curious to great friends.

Dances with Wolves is a stirring, sometimes funny, but ultimately rewarding look at one man’s journey from a soldier to a compassionate man.
