Reception
Geronimo debuted on television five days before the theatrical release of Geronimo: An American Legend.{{cite news|title= Geronimo Reconsidered TNT MOVIE REPLACES THE MYTH WITH A REAL PERSON|work= The Los Angeles Times|date=1993-12-05|url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-12-05-tv-64071-story.html|access-date=2010-12-12|first=Joanne|last=Harrison}} 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?'
