Thunderheart is a 1992 thriller directed by Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough) starring Val Kilmer, Sam Shepard and Graham Greene. Kilmer stars in the film as Ray Levoi, a young FBI agent of partial Native American heritage, partnered with a seasoned veteran (Shepard) to investigate a murder on a Sioux reservation. N.B. While the exact year of the film's events is not given, a portrait of Richard M. Nixon hanging in an F.B.I. field office indicates the early 1970's, and no later than 1974. Based on this assumption, several of the film's weapons are anachronistic, as are several other minor aspects, including a character listening to Bruce Springsteen's "Badlands" (released in 1978) while driving in a 1983 Ford Mustang.
