Dances With Wolves won Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 1990. The storyline is about Lt. John Dunbar, played by Kevin Costner, who was exiled to a remote western Civil War outpost. He befriends wolves and Native Americans and in doing so becomes an intolerable aberration to the military. The film starts out with Lt. Dunbar performing his duty as a solider and nothing else, turns into a story of a man fighting for the people he has befriended and in the process finding himself as a man.
