Arrowhead is a 1953 Western Technicolor film written and directed by Charles Marquis Warren (1912–1990), starring Charlton Heston, and featuring a supporting cast including Jack Palance, Katy Jurado, Brian Keith and Milburn Stone. The picture is based on the 1953 novel Adobe Walls by W. R. Burnett (1899–1982).
Plot Maverick scout Ed Bannon (Charlton Heston), a fictionalized depiction of real-life Army scout Al Sieber (1843–1907), is working with Army cavalry stationed at Fort Clark, near Brackettville, Texas. The United States Army Cavalry is trying to talk peace with the native Apaches and move them to reservations far to the East in Florida. Bannon's activities seem counterproductive to this new policy. Toriano (Jack Palance), the son of the Apache chief, returns from an Eastern white education. Bannon is suspicious of his motives and their mutual distrust of each other is eventually resolved by single man combat.
