Award winner Donald Sutherland joins Academy Award nominee Chief Dan George (Little Big Man, Outlaw Josey Wales) in this tale based on a true story. Alien Thunder vividly recounts the adventures of a feisty Indian named Almighty Voice (Gordon Tootoosis, Legends of the Fall, Lone Star) and a powerful Northwest Mountie named Dan Candy (Donald Sutherland, M*A*S*H, The Eye of the Needle, Invasion of the Body Snatchers), when a Canadian mountie becomes a driven hunter, and then desperate prey, when he tries to track down the Indian who killed his partner (Kevin McCarthy, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Howling).
