Handsome TV Movie
Ben Johnson is in charge of the US Government's mustang program in Wyoming, where they keep the wild horses in check by capturing some of them for training. Ex-rodeo champ Kenny Rogers gets fired from his job and heads off to take part in a round-up. Johnson is retired before the round-up begins, alas, and the new man allows corruption to creep in. There's also young love, lots of nice photography of horses on bright-lit open range, and music by Hans Zimmer and Kenny Rogers.
Clearly a TV movie with ambition, it's a little too standard to be be great, but it's a pleasant modern western. With Pam Dawber, Richard Masur, and Richard Farnsworth to fill out the capable cast.
