About
You can stream Fort Apache (1948) on YouTube TV with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
Owen Thursday sees his new posting to the desolate Fort Apache as a chance to claim the military honour which he believes is rightfully his. Arrogant, obsessed with military form and ultimately self-destructive, he attempts to destroy the Apache chief Cochise after luring him across the border from Mexico, against the advice of his subordinates.
Dust and rigid military protocol collide in this tense portrait of an officer blinded by his own vanity. Watching a single man's obsession unravel a fragile frontier outpost creates a chilling study of ego.
