Summary: The movie begins by showing Lieutenant Dunbar in an American civil war hospital tent. His leg is about to be amputated. While doctors are on a smoke break, he decides to break a long-standing stalemate by riding a horse across enemy lines. Unbelievably, he ends up being the hero after he accidentally leads the Union troops to a victory. As a reward, he gets the best doctor to fix his leg and has a choice of any duty. He requests a position on the western frontier. However, when he gets there, he finds the post deserted but decides to clean up the camp and wait for reinforcements. He soon meets a wolf and calls him "Two-socks". He also encounters an Indian tribe. He is friendly to them and the tribe accepts him. He is known as "Dances with Wolves". He communicates with the tribe through a beautiful white woman named "Stands with a Fist". She has been raised by the tribe since she was a young girl and has a large part in Dunbar switching sides. Dunbar ends up falling in love with her and marries her. The tribe packs up everything and leaves for their winter grounds. However, before Dunbar can go with them, he goes back to the once-abandoned post to retrieve something. When he gets there, he sees troops. The troops catch him and decide to take him to town. On the way there, Indians attack the troops and save Dances with Wolves. But he is worried that the white men will look for him so he leaves the tribe and tells them to move. Dances with Wolves and Stands With a Fist walk in the snow at the end of the movie and we are told that the Sioux tribe was completely wiped out 13...
