Captain Jack (Kintpuash) — The War Fought Inside the Earth

They did not fight on open plains.
They did not fight in forests.
They did not fight on rivers.
They fought inside the earth.
In a land of black stone, burning vents, and endless caves, a small Native nation trapped an army.
The United States brought infantry.
Cavalry.
Artillery.
Captain Jack brought the ground itself.

This documentary tells the extraordinary true story of Kintpuash — known to history as Captain Jack — and the Modoc War, one of the strangest and most terrifying conflicts ever fought on American soil.
Forced onto a reservation with traditional enemies, starved, abused, and stripped of their homeland, the Modoc people returned to their volcanic territory in Northern California. When the U.S. Army tried to remove them again, Captain Jack led fewer than 60 warriors into the Lava Beds — a maze of caves, trenches, and rock formations no conventional army could navigate.
What followed was a war without a surface.
Soldiers vanished.
Attacks came from the ground.
Artillery failed.
Entire units were pinned down by men they could not see.

This film explores how Captain Jack turned geology into a weapon, how the U.S. Army found itself trapped by the land, how peace talks ended in blood, and how one of the most technologically advanced armies in the world was forced into a months-long siege against a people who had nowhere left to go.

Inside this story:
– Who the Modoc people were
– Life before removal
– The reservation system and its collapse
– Captain Jack’s rise as a reluctant leader
– The flight into the Lava Beds
– Subterranean warfare and invisible defenses
– Failed assaults and mounting casualties
– The killing of General Canby during peace talks
– The final siege and internal betrayals
– Captain Jack’s capture, trial, and execution
– And what the Modoc War truly revealed

Captain Jack did not lose a war.
He lost the space to exist.
Driven into volcanic wasteland, the Modoc did not choose a battlefield.
They were forced into the last place where disappearance could be delayed.
And for months, the earth itself fought back.
