An epic adventure and passionate romance unfold against the panorama of a frontier wilderness ravaged by war.

Their love, tested by fate, blazes amidst a brutal conflict between the British, the French and Native American allies that engulfs the majestic mountains and cathedral-like forests of Colonial America.

Stellar Movie
This is by far one of the greatest movies of all time. Notable is that the soundtrack so perfectly matches the movement and action in the movie that you will become so enthralled and enraptured that is i hard to remember you are even watching a movie.

directors version ruined movie
I agree with so many that the director ruined this beautiful movie when he put it on DVD. I will be digging out my VHS version. The original VHS had a wonderful flow with powerful music like "I will Find you" by Clannad that was cut from the DVD to my disappointment. The DVD scenes are choppy and rushed so that the intensity and emotion of the movie cannot build and by cutting some of the most romantic music of the soundtrack, the movie was further diminished. Soooo sad.

Bait and Switch Packaging
I ordered the DVD "The Last of the Mohicans" and had a selection choice and chose the one clearly marked "Director's Expanded Edition". When it arrived and I unpacked it to play the DVD I discovered that only the cover sleeve was marked "Director's Expanded Edition", there were not additional minutes of filming nor special features as noted on the back of the sleeve. I was disapppointed but did not complain to Amazon nor did I return the DVD; I am not a 'returner'. The movie itself was wonderfully acted; it is about time actual Native Americans are employed in lead roles, speaking native tongue, English and French. Hence, my rating for the film itself. However, I will think twice before I purchase anything from Amazon in the future. Shame, shame, shame. M. Luttrell, PA

How to ruin magic: a director's gift
I should have read these reviews more carefully instead of just assuming other were being overly analytical of the differences between the DVD and the VHS. I'll be brief...
- Continuity: the story does not flow. It actually seems like a cheesy B movie with a ton of well dressed extras. I can't exclaim enough how fragmented this film feels in this release. It does not absorb you into the drama or action at all
- Audio: The power of the amazing musical score in the original cut is entirely gone. The sound affects overpower the conversation at times and the music seems ill timed, not how I remember it at all.

Must Have for Fans of Last of the Mohicans
Anyone that loves this movie must have this special edition. Though some lines and music from the original are missing from this edition, the extra footage makes the purchase worth it.
