History (correctly) tends to remember Gladiator as the action-packed historical epic that reignited the popularity of a genre that many had written off as being irrelevant at the turn of the 21st Century, but that doesn’t mean Michael Mann’s 1992 classic The Last of the Mohicans doesn’t deserve to be part of the conversation when discussing the all-time greats.
A genuine outlier at a time when big budget productions set hundreds of years in the past weren’t exactly famed for setting the critical sphere or the box office alight, the hard-hitting story of Daniel Day-Lewis’ Hawkeye breaking his vow of peace to head back into the thick of battle to rescue the kidnapped daughters of a British colonel was a smash on both fronts.
