Crooked Arrows is a 2012 American sports drama film directed by Steve Rash, written by Brad Riddell and Todd Baird, and stars Brandon Routh. The story is centered on a Native American (Haudenosaunee) lacrosse team making its way through a prep school league tournament in Upstate New York. Crooked Arrows garnered mixed reviews from critics who felt it underdelivered in its showcase of Native American heritage and the sport of lacrosse.

The film was also a box office flop, grossing just $1.8 million against a production budget of $13 million.[3]

Various lacrosse companies and associations sponsored and supported the film, such as Reebok. The movie and the associated companies hoped to pique more interest in the sport of lacrosse.[4]
