Seems Like A Re-Adaptation of The Stagecoach Theme?

Apache Rifles (1964) is considered to be a remake of Indian Uprising (1952). The characters are renamed but very little of the the plot is changed.

If you watched the movies in order of their fictional dates you would watch Apache Rifles (1964) with a fictional date of 1879, before Indian Uprising (1952) with a fictional date of 1885, and think that Indian Uprising was the copycat.

Note: Victorio, Chief of the Mescalero Apaches, is killed in Arizona in 1879 in Apache Rifles (1964) and succeeded by his son Red Hawk, and Victorio, Chief of the Mescalero Apaches, is killed in New Mexico in 1880 in Apache Drums (1951).
