Dubbed “Costner’s Last Stand,” Dances with Wolves had everything on the line, not the least of which was the fate of a faltering studio and the credibility of its novice director. Enduring a production fraught with weather delays, critical backlash and a nearly fatal on-set accident, director/star Kevin Costner never lost his focus and delivered a sweeping, heartfelt, three-hour epic that would become the box office surprise of 1990.
“Dances with Wolves: The Inside Story” features brand-new interviews with Costner and his crew bringing viewers inside the tumultuous story of Dances with Wolves, the revisionist western that would take in over $400 million worldwide and win seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.
