This article is about the 1993 television film about the Apache leader Geronimo. For the 1993 feature film also about Geronimo, see Geronimo: An American Legend.
Geronimo is a 1993 American historical Western television film directed by Roger Young and starring Joseph Runningfox in the title role.[1] It also stars Jimmy Herman and Adan Sanchez, and was distributed by TNT on December 5, 1993.
Geronimo debuted on television five days before the theatrical release of Geronimo: An American Legend.[2] Walter Hill, director of the theatrical film, blamed the poor reception of his film on the screening of the TV movie. Hill said, "I don't think there are a hell of a lot of movies where you can take basically the same story, show it to 50 million people and bring yours out a week later and think that you're going to do great. What can you say, `My Geronimo has better locations?' "[3]
