1992 gave us: thunderheart

This little gem, directed by Michael Apted (ENOUGH, NELL) gives us Val Kilmer as Ray Levoi, an FBI agent suppressing his Sioux ancestry who is sent to an Indian reservation to investigate a murder. Before he can truly realize the stakes underlying the crime and find the killer, he must first come to terms with his heritage. Graham Greene as reservation detective Walter Crow Horse is flawless, allowing Kilmer to deliver a tour-de-force performance in Levoi. Actually, no, not really. But how can you pass up VK doing what he does best? Foaming sarcasm at the mouth, feigning anything resembling empathy until the 3rd act. The 3rd act, in this case, turns out to be Kilmer's realization that he must fulfill a prophecy and become "Thunderheart," the savior the Sioux people have been waiting for to rid the land of murderous pillagers. And honestly? It's magical.
