The Lusty Men
“A Fast Buck... A Fast Bronc... A Fast Thrill!”
DramaWestern
Retired rodeo champion Jeff McCloud agrees to mentor novice rodeo contestant Wes Merritt against the wishes of Merritt's wife who fears the dangers of this rough sport.
VIBE
A dusty, sun-baked drama about the harsh realities behind the rodeo dream. It's a quiet, melancholic look at broken men chasing glory and the toll it takes on love and life. Feels like a worn-out saddle.
