The Epic Mini-Series as Seen on Masterpiece Theatre.
| The definitive adaptation of the James Fenimore Cooper novel, this eight-part BBC production stars Philip Madoc, in an Emmy-nominated performance as the villainous Magua, and Kenneth Ives as the intrepid frontier scout Hawkeye. In 1757, during the French and Indian War, half-sisters Cora and Alice Munro set out to join their father, the British Commander of Fort William Henry. After they are betrayed by Magua, the sisters are rescued by Hawkeye whose efforts to lead them to safety are aided by the noble Mohican Uncas, the last of this tribe. |
