"Stolen Women: Captured Hearts is a 1997 made-for-television film directed by Jerry London. The film stars Janine Turner as Anna Morgan, a woman living on the plains of Kansas in 1868 who is kidnapped by a band of Lakota Indians. It also stars Patrick Bergin, Jean Louisa Kelly, Michael Greyeyes, and Rodney A. Grant. The story is loosely based on the real Anna Morgan who was taken by Cheyenne Indians for approximately one year before being returned to her husband."

Story:

"Anna (Janine Turner), a beautiful young woman, allows her brother to arrange her marriage. She travels west to marry Daniel (Patrick Bergin), a man whom she has never met, but on the way is taken prisoner by the Sioux Indians. Their leader, the handsome warrior Tokalah (Michael Greyeyes), is set to kill Anna, until he realizes she is the woman who has come to him repeatedly in his dreams. He spares Anna's life and she continues to travel to Fort Hays where she meets and marries Daniel, the ordinary man her brother has chosen for her.

After only one night with her new husband, Anna and her friend Sarah (Jean Louisa Kelly) are taken hostage by a tribe of Sioux warriors led by Tokolah. They are forced to live like the Sioux, learning their language, dressing like them and adapting to their customs. During this time Tokalah and Anna spend together, they give in to their emotions and, regardless of the consequences, they fall in love.

After a year, the U.S. Cavalry and the Indians are at war and the women are rescued by General Custer. But Anna's heart still longs to be with Tokalah. Will she choose to follow her heart or obey the rules of convention?"

Reviews:

"An absolute favorite of mine ... based on a true story ... the Indians are shown to be thoughtful, most of them smart, considerate, good looking, faithful people. This movie of a white woman and an Indian falling in love is wonderful, exploring the various problems people like us run into. It is a very challenging and thoughtful movie."

"This is one of my favorite Michael Greyeyes movie. Even though the movie is loosely based on a true story the story line didn't follow true to what really happened with Anna and Tokalah but it was a truly wonderful love story. After I read how the real story was with these two I am so glad the producer/writers decided to make it a happy ending and the the true ending of Anna's life. If you love this type of movie I highly recommend it. I have watched it several times and never get bored with it."

"I saw this movie years ago, didn't remember the name, so I googled the storyline and was amazed when the name came up. I have waited years for it to reappear on a tv movie again, which it never did I was so happy that Amazon carried it that I couldn't wait to order it.Loved it the first time, and fell in love with it all over again. The chemistry between the two main actor's is wonderful. I have watched it over and over again and never tire of it. I also wish the movie went into a little more detail. Hope maybe someday there could be a sequel. I know it wasn't exactly like the true story, but I would have hoped that it would have had this happier ending instead of what really happened. Great movie, I would have given it 10 stars if I could."
