When arrogant and stubborn Civil War hero Lieutenant Colonel Owen Thursday arrives in Arizona with his daughter, Philadelphia, to assume command of the Fort Apache outpost, he clashes with level-headed Captain Kirby York . Viewing the local Native Americans through an ignorantly negative lens, Thursday is determined to engage them in battle for his own glory, despite the warnings of York -- an act of folly that will have dire consequences.
