West Texas in the years after the Civil War is an un-easy meeting ground of two cultures, one white, the other native American. Elvis portrays Pacer Burton, the son of a white rancher (John Mclntire) and his beautiful Kiowa Indian wife (Dolores Del Rio). When fighting breaks out between the settlers and natives, Pacer tries to act as a peace maker, but the "flaming star of death" pulls him irrevocably into the deadly violence. Co-starring Barbara Eden, the soundtrack features Elvis's haunting perform-ance of the title song. Considered by many critics as Elvis's best screen per-formance, this moving portrayal of a man caught between two cultures makes Flaming Star a monumental Presley classic!
