Sheryl Lee stars in this fact-based story of a colonial woman taken prisoner by a tribe of Shawnee Indians during the French and Indian War. After being abducted to the tribe's settlement in the wilds of Virginia, Mary Ingles (Lee) befriends a Dutch woman who is also being held captive, and the two manage to escape and work their way back home through the dangerous Virginia wilderness. Based upon the novel by James Alexander Thorn. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide

I think this story was really good. I thought the actress who played the part of the main character did a good job. I have read the book several times and for the most part it stuck right to the story line, except for the very end.. The fact that this is a true story makes it more interesting. If the movie had shown everything this woman went through, it would probably be too rough for some to watch, so although they played down alot of the rough spots, it is well worth watching.
