“Montford: The Chickasaw Rancher,” is Chickasaw Nation-financed drama about a 19th century member of the Chickasaw Nation who became a land and cattle baron in the Oklahoma Indian Territories, and who maintained his empire even after the U.S. government turned around and sold that “Indian” land during the “Sooner” land rushes of the late 19th century.
It's likely that most people outside of Oklahoma have never heard of Johnson, whose father was a Scottish actor and mother half-Chickasaw and a member of the tribe, but his story makes for an epic saga, or a compact, sturdy 90-minute action biography.
