Arrowhead is a 1953 Western Technicolor film directed by Charles Marquis Warren, starring Charlton Heston, and featuring a supporting cast including Jack Palance, Katy Jurado, Brian Keith and Milburn Stone. The picture is based on the novel Adobe Walls by W. R. Burnett. The screenplay was also by Charles Marquis Warren.
Maverick scout Ed Bannon (Charlton Heston), a ficionalized depiction of real-life Army scout Al Sieber, is working with cavalry stationed at Fort Clark, Texas. The US army is trying to talk peace with the Apaches and move them to reservations in Florida. Bannon's activities seem counterproductive to this new policy. Toriano (Jack Palance), the son of the Apache chief, returns from an Eastern education. Bannon is suspicious of his motives and their distrust of each other is eventually resolved by single combat.
