The Mystic Warrior (1985)

The Mystic Warrior is a 1984 TV movie about a band of Native American Sioux and the efforts of one man to save his people from destruction through the use of mysterious powers handed down by ancestors. The movie was originally a nine hour mini-series entitled Hanta Yo to be aired in 1980, instead aired in 1984 as a five hour mini series with the new name. The movie was never released on VHS or DVD although it has been shown on cable TV. Mystic Warrior was entertaining, but failed to draw viewers away from such formidable competition as The Jeffersons, Alice, and One Day at a Time.
