Hidalgo Plot Summary
What happens in Hidalgo from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In the year 1890, Frank Hopkins, burdened with guilt, grapples with the consequences of delivering a message to the 7th Cavalry Regiment that led to the Wounded Knee Massacre, where the Lakota Sioux were brutally slain despite being under U.S. Army protection. Upon returning to camp, he found nothing but devastation from the tragic event.
While showcasing his skills as a stunt rider in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, Frank and his mustang, Hidalgo, receive acclaim as “the world’s greatest distance horse and rider.” However, not everyone shares this sentiment; fellow competitor Preston Webb (C. Thomas Howell) dismisses the prowess of Mustangs, labeling them unworthy compared to thoroughbreds.
