The Last Ride

No Video Found

A well-loved world-champion rodeo cowboy comes to terms with little time left to live from his terminal illness. Rather than waiting to die in the hospital, he convinces his grand-son, a rising, young rodeo cowboy, to break him out of the hospital for "one last ride" in the wilderness. With the love and support of his grandson, he hands him his trophy buckle, climbs on his horse, and is able to ride into the sunset to die the way he lived, with the utmost dignity.
