Thunderheart is a 1992 thriller directed by Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough) starring Val Kilmer, Sam Shepard and Graham Greene. Kilmer stars in the film as Ray Levoi, a young FBI agent of partial Native American heritage, partnered with a seasoned veteran (Shepard) to investigate a murder on a Sioux reservation. N.B.
