NORTH STAR (1996)

MORGAN'S RATING

In Nome, Alaska circa 1899, half-breed Hudson Santeek is the owner of a plot of land, rich with gold, that is near a small town ruled by the heinous Sean McLennon. When Santeek turns down McLennon's offer to buy the acreage, he is bullied and beaten by McLennon's thugs. Then Santeek kidnaps Sean's girlfriend in retaliation, which results in a game of cat-and-mouse through Alaska's wilderness -- with deadly results...
