"Ben Mockridge is an idealisticx, wide-eyed teen who wants more than anything else to be a cowboy.

"A young Texan joins a cattle drive with romantic dreams of the cowboy life. Instead he finds a West of boredom and random violence as the drovers, themselves little better than thugs, encounter rustlers, a ruthless land baron and Mormon settlers. This is both a gritty revisionist western and an elegiac rite of passage film on the theme of the conflict between ideals and necessity in a corrupt world."@en

"Gary Grimes stars in this revisionist western as Ben Mockridge, a 16-year-old boy who has long dreamed of living the life of a cowboy. Wanting adventure, he persuades Frank Culpepper (Billy Green Bush) to take him along on a cattle drive, and Ben learns the hard way just how lonesome, exhausting, and violent the life of a cowhand can be. As one of the men on the drive puts it, "Being a cowboy is what you do when you can't do anything else." Hal Needham, who would later direct a string of successful films starring Burt Reynolds, can be spotted in a small role as Burgess, one of the cowboys."
