Miracle at Sage Creek (2005) Mark Franklin December 25, 2022 2000s

Christmas is coming, but all sorts of problems are befalling the Keller and Red Eagle families, and most all of them can be traced back to one man — Ike Franklin (David Carradine).

Seems Ike granted a homestead to a cowboy named Johnny with the understanding that he’d marry his daughter, Mary, and they’d live on neighboring ranches.

Only Mary chose to marry a preacher named Seth Keller instead.

Johnny? He married an Indian woman named Sunny and moved her father, Chief Thomas (Wes Studi), into their home.

All of which stirred up Ike’s old hatred for Indians. His wife died in an Indian attack. And, in his mind, one savage is as bad as the next.

He’s determined to get his property back. If that means hiring men to kill Johnny and chasing the Red Eagle family off their land just before the holiday, so be it.

Then both of his grandsons are put in jeopardy — one because he gets lost looking for John, who’s gone missing; the other with a potentially fatal illness.

Suddenly, the Kellers find themselves relying on the help of the very neighbors Ike hates.
