Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson

In Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson, Buffalo Bill aims to create his own Wild West show, with Chief Sitting Bull on board. However, Sitting Bull has his own motives that intertwine with historical figures like the President and General Custer. This film explores themes of identity and spectacle against a backdrop of 19th-century America.

As a revisionist western, it diverges from traditional portrayals of the Wild West, infusing humor into the narrative. The runtime of 123 minutes allows for an in-depth exploration of character motivations and the absurdities of showmanship. The film's tagline, "The greatest buffaloer of them all!" hints at the satirical edge that Altman injects into the story, making it an interesting watch for fans of both the Western genre and comedy.
