Most tend to remember the late Val Kilmer for his roles in Batman and Top Gun but he had such a wide variety of films in his filmography from comedies like Top Secret to spy thrillers like The Saint. In 1992 he teamed up with Coal Miner’s Daughter and Guerillas in the Mist director Michael Apted for the crime drama Thunderheart co-starring Sam Shepard, Fred Ward, Chief Ted Thin Elk, Rex Linn and the late Graham Greene.

 

Thunderheart follows Ray Levoi, a hotshot FBI agent who's thrust into a strange new world when he is sent to solve a murder on an Indian reservation. Hand-picked because of his part-Sioux ancestry, Levoi is teamed with a legendary older agent to capture a radical Native American protester. But once on the reservation, Levoi encounters the irreverent local sheriff, and the tribe's religious leader, who knows secrets about Levoi's own lost heritage. And as Levoi's awareness of the native culture grows, so does his belief that the U.S. government has framed an innocent man.

 

Now the film is coming to 4K for the first time with bonus content including a trailer and commentator from screenwriter Joe Fusco. Grab your copy of Thunderheart when it makes its debut on 4K on January 13, 2026, from Sony Home Entertainment.
