The film portrays a continuous cycle of powerful civilizations emerging and dominating, with a pivotal scene illustrating the ancient Indian tribes' victory over the cliff dwellers in Monument Valley, ultimately paving the way for the ascendance of other prominent cultures.

In this film, a tribe of Navajo live on a reservation overseen by an Indian-hating agent, Booker, who steals their best horses for personal gain.
