Burt
Lancaster is Massai, the last warrior refusing to
submit to ërelocationí in Florida after the subjugation
of the Apache nation.
The opening scene of Geronimoís surrender, with the
Cavalry and Indians facing off among angular sandstone
formations, was filmed at the 745-acre
Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park,
10700 West Escondido Canyon Road, near Agua
Dulce Springs, California.
Named after 19th century outlaw Tiburcio Vasquez, who
hid out here, the spectacular location – an outburst
of the San Andreas fault where spurs of rock have been
thrust out of the earth – has been used in hundreds
of Westerns and sci-fi movies, pop videos, photoshoots, and episodes of
the Star Trek TV
series.
The park is in the high desert north of LA, between
Newhall and Acton, off Route 14.
The forested landscapes are in Tuolumne
County, east of San
Francisco on the Nevada border in the Sierra Nevadas,
while the stark red sandstone buttes where Massai hides
out with Nalinla (Jean
Peters) can be found in Arizona at Sedona,
south of Flagstaff, Route 89A.
More scenes were filmed at the Warnersí Calabasas Ranch
which was in the San Fernando Valley north of LA. Itís
now a golf course.
