Description
Experience one of the greatest film classics of all time in a unique way. Dances with Wolves, the epic masterpiece starring Kevin Costner, won 7 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Original Score.

Lieutenant John Dunbar (Kevin Costner)
The moving story follows Lieutenant John Dunbar, stationed on the frontier during the American Civil War. His encounter with the Sioux tribe transforms his life and leads to a powerful tale of friendship, culture, and identity.
Dances with Wolves revolutionized Western films with its respectful and authentic portrayal of Native American culture, featuring extensive dialogue in the Lakota language—a groundbreaking choice in Hollywood.
Kevin Costner not only starred in the film but also directed it, taking significant financial risks to bring his vision to life when Hollywood initially rejected the project. The result was a powerful epic that redefined the Western genre and captured audiences worldwide.
John Barry's iconic score, considered one of the most beautiful soundtracks ever written, further elevates the film's emotional power. Don't miss this rare chance to experience this unforgettable masterpiece with a live orchestra.
