McQueen is Junior Bonner, an aging rodeo champ who returns to his home town to participate in the annual rodeo. He finds his family estranged, does what he can to help, and then moves on ... after some good rodeo riding and a few brawls.
I definitely admire the film for its detailed look at the life of a rodeo star and its emotional realism, but I'm not that interested in rodeos to begin with, so I was waiting for some scenes to just end.
