- TriviaStewart Peterson "Sam" walked away from acting in the late 70's. In the late 80's he formed an outfitting business with his uncle called "Magic Mountains Outfitters" out of Cokeville, WY. After his uncle retired Peterson's son stepped in and the name was changed to "Crooked Sky Outfitters" in 2019. Some 40+ years after "Against a Crooked Sky" was released, the name lives again.

A Sentimental Tale of Family Devotion
I watched this movie on TV so many years ago that I cannot now be certain of all the details, such as how many times I have seen it. I still remember the theme song (that's how I found the movie, again, on IMDb).
There is nothing profound in this movie, but it is a respectable (if slightly cheesy) story about family devotion as a boy transforms into a young man. An Indian (sorry, Native American), sees the boy's sister rising from her bath in a creek, and kidnaps her. That's about as much nudity as this movie contains (we only get obscure views), which is the reason that I mention it specifically. The boy spends most of the rest of the movie trying to rescue his sister, aided only by a crotchety, old drunk, a task that overwhelms both of them. Someone must die, and the brother is determined to rescue his sister, even at the cost of his own life.
