The Dutton daughter scrambles for the gun of a fallen man.
‘1883’s Premiere Opens On the Tragedy of Elsa Dutton, But It Takes the Entire Series Before We Learn the Truth But if 1883 shows us anything, it’s that Elsa Dutton was never going down without a fight. As she comes to, she is met with a fierce Indigenous warrior. Carnage unfurls around her as Indigenous warriors shoot down her immigrant party. She gathers her strength, dragging herself up from the dry grass. Elsa herself is face-down in the field her freckled skin caked with dirt and ash. Behind her, a wagon we assume to be her family’s burns fiercely.

It sets the tone for Travolta’s villain theme and is the building block for the rest of the score. The real masterstroke is bringing in legendary guitarist Duane Eddy to play a simple, yet immensely distinguishable lead baritone guitar riff. Zimmer’s work is typically fantastic, making use of a wide array of instruments and arrangements. Many will remember it as “Dewey’s theme” from Scream 2, but it all started with Broken Arrow. Hans Zimmer’s score is instantly recognizable and was used widely throughout the 90’s in trailers and other films. It’s also the only time I have ever seen Roger Ebert change Gene Siskel’s mind on a movie. Filled with bizarrely comedic dialogue, an over-the-top villain in John Travolta, and a whole lot of stuff blowing up real good (helicopters, hummers, trains, people), it’s best remembered as a high-energy spectacle with plenty of signature John Woo moments (no pigeons that I recall, however).
Released in February of 1996 and grossing a respectable $70 million domestically, Broken Arrow is a true 90’s action film.
