Windwalker is a 1981 Western film directed by Kieth Merrill and written by Ray Goldrup, based on a novel by Blaine M. Yorgason. It stars Trevor Howard and Nick Ramus.
The movie takes place in the rugged western wilderness of pre-European North America, during the brutally cold winters of that area, and focuses on a family of Cheyenne, and in particular, on aging and dying warrior patriarch Windwalker (Trevor Howard).
After crossing into the afterlife, Windwalker sees a vision of his murdered wife, Tashina (Serene Hedin), and realizes he must return to life to find their long-lost son (Nick Ramus).
