This is one of the very best adventure films ever made. The direction and photography are outstanding, Connery is fine, Bergan actually gives a believable performance, and Brian Keith is outstanding in the best portrayal of Teddy Roosevelt ever put on film. Great score, too. No, it didn't quite happen this way historically, but who cares? It's great entertainment, the best thing John Milius has done, and easily ranks among the top dozen films I've seen.
