Against a Crooked Sky (1975) – Earl Bellamy.

A homesteader's daughter (Jewel Blanch) is kidnapped by Indians which heralds a violent rite of passage for her naïve younger brother(Stewart Petersen), as he courageously undertakes his increasingly desperate search for her. Charismatic character actor Richard Boone is on especially compelling form as boozy roustabout trapper Russian in Earl Bellamy's ruggedly exciting 70s western. Against a Crooked Sky remains a tremendously thrilling adventure, laden with rousing incident, spectacular vistas, colourful badinage, fine acting and an exemplary score by Lex De Azevedo.
