Anyone who has ever rode a bull or even been to a rodeo knows how hard yet fulfilling the rodeo life can be. For everyone else, there's this movie.

This movie follows the journey of Lane Frost to becoming one of the greatest rodeo legends of all time, both in an out of the arena. An emotional tale that almost anyone can appreciate, this movie is great for couples and it especially allows you to appreciate the cowboy mentality; if you fall down, get back up and try again.
