Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis leads this historical adventure from director Michael Mann (Heat) following three trappers' attempt to protect a British Colonel's daughter while caught in the middle of the French and Native American War.
As the British and French soldiers battle for control of the American colonies in the 18th century, the settlers and native Americans are forced to take sides. Cora (Madeleine Stowe) and her sister Alice (Jodhi May) unwittingly walk into trouble but are reluctantly saved by Hawkeye (Day-Lewis), an orphaned settler adopted by the last of the Mohicans.
His first big-budget Hollywood film, Day-Lewis prepped for the role by staying in the wilderness for several months and living off the land.

"Drawing upon the novel with merciful selectivity, and adding such a contemporary flavor that the film's woodsmen often have a laid-back air, Michael Mann has directed a sultrier and more pointedly responsible version of this story."

The New York Times
The New York Times"Not as authentic and uncompromised as it claims to be -- more of a matinee fantasy than it wants to admit -- but it is probably more entertaining as a result."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"A striking mixture of the ersatz and the genuine. In other words, it's vintage Hollywood. It's also a smashingly entertaining and satisfying adventure."

Salon
Salon"The story is a great ode to freedom and self-determination played out against codes of honor and loyalty, circa 1757. Lensed in South Carolina, pic blends pure adventure with a compelling central romance."
