Last of the Mohicans (1992)

This week we make our way through the atmospheric forests of North America to take on the latest screen adaptation of 'Last of the Mohicans'. We're joined by special guest Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the UK's Royal Armouries, to explore Michael Mann's 1992 epic. The film stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means, Wes Studi, Eric Schweig, and Steven Waddington and is set during the tumultuous French & Indian War. The film offers a more historically authentic telling of James Fenimore Cooper's most famous novel and takes us on a trek through the North American frontier of the 1750s and gives us a love story amongst desperate sieges and viscous battles.
