Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The elements of this movie are so familiar, so worn-out, that within a few minutes of the opening we can predict with certainty almost everything that will happen. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Jon Niccum Lawrence Journal-World Rated: 2/5 Jun 17, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A fine study of what it means to be a rounded man Jul 19, 2003 Full Review Rebecca Murray About.com Rated: 4/5 Jun 13, 2003 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Rated: 2/5 Jul 29, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
Audience Member Rodeo star returns home to help his father and fall in love with his widowed ex. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Scott Glenn as the anti-Wes Hightower and Kate Capshaw now nearly as annoying as she was in "Temple of Doom". Plus, a hilarious Gary Busey, a young Balthazar Getty, a bitch Tess Harper and the adorable Mickey Rooney. Too bad this fantastic cast didn't make the movie great! Still, it's entertaining and has a good soundtrack, which makes up for some of the plot and dialogue flaws. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member i love this movie..its been awhile since i've seen it though Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member He was busted up as a bull fighter not a clown a clown is a funny man and dont protect us bull riders Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member If this doesn't pull your heart strings nothing will. It's a GREAT movie!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE ABOUT HEROES. HONOR THEM!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis H.D. Dalton (Scott Glenn) is a big-name rodeo rider until an injury forces him to give up the sport. He returns home to start over, but the life he expects is nowhere to be found. The family farm is in shambles, and his father (Ben Johnson) now lives in a nursing home. Determined to change things, H.D. bails out his dad and reignites a romance with an old girlfriend (Kate Capshaw). Focused, he enters a rodeo contest, hoping to restore his family's ranch and happiness with the prize money.
