I love this movie! It has intense action scenes, great acting, great backround music, and a great plot! Of course, this movie is not intended for kids at all. This is because of the violence and the one scene that implies sex (although no 'friction' is shown from the head down). About the violence, I must say that this is a brutal movie. The setting is during the French and Indian War (pretty much right before the American Revolution). The cruel Huron, Magua (Wes Studi) enlists in the British army as a Mohawk ally, but ends up betraying his soldiers and even ripping out the heart of the British Colonel, Edmund Munro (Maurice Roëves). Also, the British Major Duncan Heyward (Steven Waddington) is shown being burned at the stake by Indians. There are also other violent scenes involving scalpings, breaking limbs, and seeing pioneer women and children after being murdered from Ottawa war parties. Besides violence, there are also some disturbing images, including a depressed person jumping off a cliff and other pieces of action scenes I have already mentioned. The plot in this movie is mostly about Magua trying to get revenge on Colonel Munro for killing Magua's children in a raid. Magua's idea of revenge is killing Colonel Munro (and eating his heart) and then killing Munro's children, Cora and Alice, so that Munro's 'seed' will be wiped from the earth forever. Meanwhile, the last two members of a dying tribe (the Mohicans) and their adopted son/brother are travelling west to 'Can-tuck-ee,' when they are pulled into the war after saving the two Munro sisters. This is a great action/drama film (or something like that), and is very sad and dark.
