Cast

Plot summary

Mathew Whitehawk, a "half-breed Navajo," is bitten by a rattlesnake and seeks aid at the ranch of Sarah and Luke Grog. Mathew is nursed back to health on the orders of Luke. It turns out that Luke hates Native Americans. He sets Mathew loose in the forest without food or water, and hunts him down as he has done with other Native Americans. The film ends with Mathew killing Luke.[1]

Legacy

American International Pictures: A Comprehensive Filmography describes Navajo Run as an "obscure little curio" that was a retelling of The Most Dangerous Game with a "white racist hunting down Indians as a hobby." The film had little impact at the time of its limited release, and after theatrical showings it was shown on TV in Canada.[2]
