My small claim to fame. At 1:32 the man riding next to Tom Cruise with the sling on his arm is one of my Uncles. The sling was because one of the previous days of filming he was bucked off his horse.
Can you imagine how much fun it must have been to be part of this scene, or just to be present when they filmed it?! Just think what the real thing must have been like! ...then add a John Williams score - perfection.
Love that part where the music swells and shows Tom Cruise on his young buck overtaking others, like he is finally getting ahead in life when he has had so many setbacks and hardships. It practically encapsulates the American spirit in just a few seconds.
Agree. This scene tells us so many things without any kind of dialogue: on one hand we can see an excitement and American spirit among the colonists (which shapes the future of this land), on the other hand I can't never forget an expresson on indians faces - even though we can see that only for a moment. It was their land after all, which was taken from them and given to immigrants for free...
My favorite part in the scene is when we have the long tracking shot of him on the horse surpassing everyone and you know it's going to happen for him and it's his destiny. That's one of the few things I'm proud of in the history of our country that they actually gave the citizens free land. Still can't believe it till this day
Love this film. When Joseph is running along the iron fence and that light glows brighter, the music gets louder and then boom, dynomite explodes and it's his future. Best transitional scene in any movie. Ever
That scene where he’s just riding like the wind, zipping past everyone else on the way to his destiny. It’s so exhilarating to watch! My favorite Tom Cruise scene ever.
Just watched this movie for the first time recently, and I don't know how it slid under my radar this long. I loved it: the type of glorious, optimistic, warm hearted American epic I thought had gone out of fashion decades before. It must be the last of it's kind, and as somebody whose favorite movie is Gone With the Wind, I truly appreciate both the scale of this movie, the historical commitment of it, and the lovely romance that grounds the majesty. If only Hollywood epics weren't so cynical and hateful now (on the rare occasion they even produce them instead of Star Wars and capeshit).

Fun Fact: The people who crossed the day before and before the race began were called “Sooners” hence the Oklahoma college football team name...The Oklahoma Sooners.
I remember watching this movie in 8th grade history. Our teacher taught us so much by watching historical period pieces (albeit as dramatized as they may be). It was a great way to learn (fact from fiction too).
When I was in elementary school in OKC, we used to make our own wagons and line up on the grass, then we’d all run with our wagons and it is actually pretty hectic. I tried not get run over and some of the kids wagons tipped over because they went too fast and smashed on the ground. We aren’t allowed to do that anymore. They did this to teach us about the land run.
@@kowishto What about the natives who had their lands stolen by other natives over and over. Should we get all the natives to pay each other for stolen lands?
+depressed459103 dude it's a movie. it's not like he actually hit the thing. Hollywood can do some crazy stuff. and that is a real thing people to to calm horses down. there 2,000 lbs of pure muscle fiber tissue. doubt they even feel it. it's alright mate. calm down.
First of all, an amazing scene, the music and the visuals were just perfect. Just a logic question, why would people try to use their wooden spoke wheel wagons in a race? They are slower, harder to get over rough terrain, and from the looks of it, half them broke within 10k of the start line, wouldn't it be easier to take a horse off the team, leave the wagon and any family behind and race for the land yourself, then go back and get your stuff?
Don't care about this movie, but I LIVE for John Williams's incredible music compositions. I cry evertim @ 2:25 Edit: Them poor horses tho! Is that not faked?!
Eh, I always feel a bit sad for the Natives in this scene. Technically, this was their land, and to watch the white man take it, must have been hard. But, it is an epic scene.
Well I do think it was unfair, but back in the day when my ancestors moved to America, I would of done the same thing if I had the opportunity to get my own land.
Im sitting with a gentleman that was in this scene and he is telling me all about it! Lots of injuries and hard riding. He lost his hat which was a "no no" lol ☺ lots of good footage from this scene was saved to be used in the future!
Oklahoma Cowboy here or rancher if your facny but my family had actually taken part in the land runs of 89 and the early 1890s and my family's ranch was claimed during the run it sits just west of El Reno Oklahoma
Classic movie. Nobody is talking about how the poor Natives at forced to watch their ancestral lands be taken at 0:43-0:44 though. Always thought that was sad.
Now..... question. Did these people really need to take their entire families on the land race? Could they not have left the women and children in the wagons while they claimed land on horseback?
Ich bin zwar kein Experte, aber ich denke Mal das waren schon einige Meilen die da zurück gelegt wurden. Wie hätten sich die Familien wieder finden sollen? Die Frauen und Kinder hätten die Väter niemals gefunden. Und wenn die Männer gegangen wären, hätte vielleicht jemand ihr Land geklaut. Das sind hier zwar nur Szenen aus einem Spielfilm, aber du kannst ja sehen, dass sie ihre ganzen Sachen mitgenommen haben zum Rennen. Ich denke Mal, die wollten sich dann direkt auf ihrem Stück Land nieder lassen.
If only one of my ancestors would have grabbed a horse and ran to grab a piece of land for me. I would have preserved it. The great race for land and possibly gold.
Each white flag marker designated 160 acres. 160 acres today in rural Oklahoma would be worth anywhere from 300k to 1 million depending on the features of the land.
No it wasnt, tens of thousands of natives already living in the Oklahoma territory (many of whom like the Seminoles and Choctaw had already been forced out of their own lands elsewhere) were either forced out or straight up murdered by US government forces to make way for this land rush.

The fact that there’s no CGI and real 800+ extras and horses just makes this scene all the more fantastic.
Rance Howard, Ron’s father, helped with the planning the scene.
Howard family came from Red River area (south border with Texas).

I think they had security concerns and wanted to have a decent "force" capable of defending the land once taken.
