The Battle at Apache Pass is a 1952 Universal-International western film starring Jeff Chandler as Cochise, the Apache chief of Broken Arrow.[1]
The film was rated as the No. 1 moneymaker in Variety magazine's list of box-office pictures, when it came out in April 1952.[2] The film is a fictionalized account combining the events of "The Bascom Affair" of 1861 and the "Battle of Apache Pass" of 1862 (the first time that the Indians meet modern (for the age) artillery) in the Confederate Territory of Arizona.
