New inmate Clay Treyton (Kyle Chandler), doing time for fisticuffs, is sent to a Montana ranch where prisoners spend time working with horses. Encouraged by the jail's warden (Ben Gazzara), the men ride in prison rodeos, and murderer Ry Weston (Jon Voight), an ex-pro horseman, is the team's top performer. Clay and Ry become friends, exchanging lessons about horses and life. But when prison black marketeers start leaning on Ry, the men have more than rodeos to worry about.

Audience Member I love this movie. Kyle Chandler was great with Jon Voight and he was so young. Great older movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): Thumbs Up A surprisingly entertaining TV film that I had never heard of until I saw it on Netflix. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Lots of close ups in this jail based, slow paced drama. Comes off as a television movie. Usual drunk cowboy in the city opens the film, breaking windows which draws in the cops. Of course, this puts our drunk city cowpoke into the big slammer (jail). This one is an introduction to decent folks that do bad things and get tossed into our U.S. criminal justice system. Jail is not a good thing as you will see. Original Release Date: Jul 16, 1994 Jon Voight (Midnight Cowboy) and Kyle Chandler star as two incarcerated cowboys who dare to reach for eight seconds of glory in this hard-fisted, rough-and tumble tale of friendship. Cast Jon Voight (of Midnight Cowboy) Kyle Chandler Marcia Gay Harden Ben Gazzara (starred in Anatomy of a Murder and Husbands) Crew Director: Rod Holcomb Producer: Norman Powell Writer: Henry Rosenbaum Executive Producer: Fred Schneier Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
