This was a great movie. Set in the old west, a teenage girl gets kidnapped by indians from a mysterious tribe. Her brother stops at nothing to find her and bring her home. Once he does find her, he must pass a horrifying test called "crooked sky". This movie has a lot going on in it. It's about love and friendship. It's really a great movie and well worth watching.
Against A Crooked Sky is strange viewing nowadays in that it was made before the pinheads in Hollywood decided to drastically dumb down movies aimed at children, particularly children ages ten to thirteen, reducing them to worthless comedic mind rot filled with flatulence jokes and loud flashy effects. I don't even think todays preteens would have the patience (or half of them, the Intelligence) for a movie that isn't a comedy or a fantasy!
In this, Sam Sutter watches helplessly while his sister is kidnapped by an Indian warrior. With little or no hope of recovery and all attempts to find her called off, he sets off with a drunken Richard Boone (in a fantastic performance) to find her, his only clue being a gold headband.
Although this isn't among the best westerns ever made, it's a truly entertaining outdoor adventure, the best thing about it being the developing relationship between Boone and the stubborn boy as he pushes the cantankerous old man out of his comfort zone and towards the truth about his sister's disappearance.
Against A Crooked Sky shows a strong influence of other films of the time like Little Big Man and A Man Called Horse. Like them it details strange (at least to the white man) rituals and customs, like Cut Tongue's being forced to live like a squaw and the harrowing climax, the test of the crooked sky.

I just watched this movie.
I'm no Barry Norman , an old English film critic🇬🇧 , but as far as I'm concerned this is a wonderful movie where the central theme is giving one's life for another.
I'll just say it has a good story, good acting , wonderful scenery , lovely background music and it brought this 64 years young man to tears. 👌🆓

I saw this movie as a kid in the theaters. Once.
It haunted me for the rest of my life - at least until the internet came along with IMDB and I was finally able to recall the movie's title (due to Boone's presence). So I watched it again many years ago. I thought it stunk.
Still it haunted me. Here I am, watching it again!
Why? Can't say. Maybe it's the thing about the gold or the cheeseball climax or the weird, misplaced "Indians"... I still don't know why this films sticks in my head.
Maybe that, more than any other reason, is a good cause to watch. Perhaps every ten years or so. Maybe by the time I die I'll be able to figure out the allure of this ham bone production.
Watch it if you have ninety minutes to kill. But be warned: you won't get them back again!

When his sister is kidnapped , a young boy (Petersen) set out in pursuit Indians , leaving his parents (Clint Ritchie, Fannon) . He join forces with an alcoholic gold prospector (Richard Boone) who saves him of drowning and helps him to rescue the young girl . They are driven by an elderly Indian (Henry Wilconson) toward a location where lives a strange tribe . He must risk his own life by passing the proof of crooked sky and to avoid his sister to be killed from an arrow archer .
The film is a crossover from the ¨Searchers¨ (John Ford) , also with a pair looking for abducted daughter , and ¨MacKenna's gold¨ (J.L.Thompson) with fantastic inspiration in the rare Indians and the spectacular outdoors . Richard Boone as a drunk trapper is magnificent , he's usual in Western genre and John Wayne films (The Alamo, Big Jake, Shootist). The veteran Henry Wilconson (Last of Mohicans , Crusades, Cleopatra) is also excellent . The film gets sensational landscapes shot in Colorado River and Arches National Park , Moab, Utah . The motion picture was well directed by Earl Bellamy . He was a good professional who served in the US Navy's photographic unit in the WWII and directed more than 1600 episodes of television and catastrophe films such as : Fire! and Flood! and a sequel titled Walking tall II . Rating : acceptable and entertaining .

- CuriosidadesStewart Peterson "Sam" walked away from acting in the late 70's. In the late 80's he formed an outfitting business with his uncle called "Magic Mountains Outfitters" out of Cokeville, WY. After his uncle retired Peterson's son stepped in and the name was changed to "Crooked Sky Outfitters" in 2019. Some 40+ years after "Against a Crooked Sky" was released, the name lives again.
