#1 That's funny, considering the film is anti-white, pro-everyone else (including Arabs) PC bullcrap.

#2 It is sad that Hollywood has to make up stuff and call it true. If they really want to do a great film about a ride of endurance they should do one about Portugee Phillips ride to Fort Laramie through 240 miles of a Wyoming blizzard after the Fetterman massacre. But that will never happen, as the bad guys would have to be Indians, which won't happen anymore in PC Hollywood.

#4 About the only people on a bigger hot streak then Disney might be the Catholic church. And that's a big maybe.

#5 The only good thing to come out of this is that the light of fact is being shined onto this tall tale (although for all the wrong reasons).

As somebody who is constantly amazed by actual historical events that defy the abilities of any scriptwriter to dream up, it is a shame that Disney felt the need to give this a "based on a true story" stamp.
