Kansas, 1868. A wagon train is attacked by a band of Lakota Sioux led by the young and athletic warrior Tokalah. The attractive, red haired Anna Brewster-Morgan and her friend Sarah White are on this wagon train too. When Tokalah noticed a terrified Anna with a Bible, he thinks this is an omen. Despite killing the other passengers of the wagon train, only Anna and Sarah may continue their voyage. The next day Anna and Sarah are kidnapped by Tokalah. At first terrified of her captors, the unhappily married Anna eventually falls in love with the noble, honorable Tokalah. After a year's captivity, Sarah is returned to her own people. Anna now must choose between her new life with Tokalah and her previous existence as the wife of farmer Daniel Morgan.

For all the fans of this film--- You can watch the entire movie right here: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MoviesRock569&view=videos I loved it so much! This is my favorite movie in the entire world! I hear it is based on a true story, and that really warms my heart. It is such a romantic tale... The characters were all very well played, the plot is captivating, the costumes and scenery are wonderful (although I think "Anna" was wearing WAY too much makeup). But still, I could watch this again and again, and never get bored. If I was ever going to be kidnapped, I would want a scenario like this! Honestly, people, watch the movie, and you will fall in love with it!

When we hear about TV movies, we usually expect predictable plot lines, strained acting, and numerous holes in the plot, especially with something that airs on Lifetime periodically. Not this film.Stolen Women, Captured Hearts features a strong cast (including Janine Turner, Michael Greyeyes, and Patrick Bergin) whose emotion shines throughout the film. The score is beautiful and the plot is quite enjoyable.While most lifetime dramas focus around family drama in the present day, this film presents the story of two white women captured by Sioux Native Americans in the late 1860s and how one of the captive's emotions are tested by the temptation of her captor.The film features good drama and suspense, as well as the hostility between whites and the natives. Some historical references and even a very important real-life figure are featured in the movie. I was moved by the romance and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I definitely recommend it.

I saw this film from beginning to end, it was the best romantic film I have ever seen, though I cant help thinking it would be a fantastic read, I have searched the internet for the book but can't seem to find one, so if anyone can help me to find it, if there is one I would be glad to hear. Any way back to the film.. The thing I did love about this film, is the "love at first sight" element, the way that Tokalah stares at Anna when they first meet in the back of the waggon, as if she is the only woman in the world, and speaking as a woman and I'm sure most other women feel the same, that is the way I love to be looked at. There was a part I found particularly moving though, it was the part where Anna and Sarah try to escape, but are later found by the indians, Tokalah takes Anna in his arms and she says, "I was so afraid you would not come looking for me." Then they share their first kiss and spend the night together under the stars. For a while I was afraid that the film would not have an happy ending, especially when Anna goes back to find her true love (Tokalah) and live with the indians, and everything is burnt to the ground, but here is where is it sad but happy at the same time, because Anna finds Tokalah praying on the ground, he is alive, you really feel the emotion of these people, the sadness and the loss, but the joy of being back together, Tokalah see's Anna but thinks she is the vision he was praying for, Anna Takes his hands and says "Can a vision touch you, can a vision love you." then they embrace one and other, its a very touching movie I promise you if you love romance you'll love this film. I would love to see this film again, 10 out of 10. thank you for the opportunity to tell people about this fantastic romantic film.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and in it I found someone who will from now on be one of my favorite actors, William Lightning, who played Cetah. He was so perfect for that part & seemed to have a special aura about him. He stood out. From now on I will be watching anything that has him in it. I watch it every time it's on and love it every time and I know other people who do the same. I wish I could get a copy of it just to have in my collection.William Lightning was so cool in Renegade also, even though his part didn't last long enough, with no talking. It was very beautiful and poetic looking. I wish I could see him in more things.Please, all you "Powers that be", have him in more movies, and I'd like to see his "shorts" too. Please make them available to us.Janine Turner was beautiful as always, but had on too much make-up to give the story a more true to life look.Patrick Bergin was wonderful as her husband. I'd love to see him in more things. And Michael Greyeyes was perfect for his role, and very handsome of course. It is just such a beautiful love story. I'd love to see more movies like this showing the American Indians in this more honest light of them. I think we're all getting tired of the same old group of movies we have to watch now.B. L.It's too bad that really great people get so typecast, or don't seem to be in enough other things so we can see them as much as we'd like.
