Junior "JR" Bonner is a rodeo rider who is slightly "over the hill". Junior is first seen taping up his injuries after an unsuccessful ride on an ornery bull named Sunshine.
He returns home to Prescott, Arizona for the Independence Day parade and rodeo. When he arrives, the Bonner family home is being bulldozed by his younger brother Curly, an entrepreneur and real-estate developer, in order to build ranch homes.
Junior's womanizing, good-for-nothing father Ace and down-to-earth, long-suffering mother Elvira are estranged. (Note: both Preston and Lupino were born in 1918, making them just twelve years older than McQueen.) Ace dreams of emigrating to Australia to rear sheep and mine gold, but he fails to obtain financing from Junior, who is broke, and refuses to ask Curly for it.
After flooring his arrogant brother with a punch, Junior bribes rodeo owner Buck Roan to let him ride Sunshine again, promising him half the prize money. Buck thinks he must be crazy but Junior actually manages to pull it off this time, going the full eight seconds on the bull.
Junior walks into a travel agent's office and buys his father a one-way, first-class ticket to Australia. The film's final shot shows JR leaving his hometown, his successful ride on Sunshine continuing to put off the inevitable end of his career.

没想到佩金帕还拍过这么低调又好看的一部牛仔家庭片，除了斗牛场面中的慢镜和闪回几乎都没有他的影像风格，可是他真的特别怀恋这种牛仔的、西部的生活方式和漂泊感，整部电影虽然有日薄西山的无力却令人心驰神往。太好了。另外Steve McQueen怎么穿什么都帅到破表T_T

派金帕在《稻草狗》和《亡命大煞星》之间的小喘歇，看完结局只留下失望的回味。牛仔竞技是其中唯一有趣的段落，特别是麦奎因本人亲自上阵表演了一些小技巧，这一段持续了大约 10 分钟，情节又回到了从前的沉闷路线。如果对牛仔竞技感兴趣，可以去看特拉沃尔塔早年的《都市牛郎》。

虽然剧情上还是聚焦老牛仔的困境和西部文明的日薄西山（住民们已经有卖地的动向了），但这部的基调还是挺轻松的。萨姆·佩金帕似乎很喜欢拍被时代浪潮所冲击的西部老牛仔，像《午后枪声》里被年轻矿工干掉的Judd啦，《日落黄沙》里马都差点骑不上去的Pike啦，甚至连《牛郎血泪美人恩》里的Cable啦，都是这一挂的角色。但好在有个好儿子麦奎因帮着实现了澳洲淘金梦，老Ace的处境没有上面几部那么凄惨。全片基本围绕... 虽然剧情上还是聚焦老牛仔的困境和西部文明的日薄西山（住民们已经有卖地的动向了），但这部的基调还是挺轻松的。萨姆·佩金帕似乎很喜欢拍被时代浪潮所冲击的西部老牛仔，像《午后枪声》里被年轻矿工干掉的Judd啦，《日落黄沙》里马都差点骑不上去的Pike啦，甚至连《牛郎血泪美人恩》里的Cable啦，都是这一挂的角色。但好在有个好儿子麦奎因帮着实现了澳洲淘金梦，老Ace的处境没有上面几部那么凄惨。全片基本围绕赛场进行，那些挤牛奶啊，骑牛，赛马比赛，是特有的西部时代风貌，比赛之外大家喝喝酒聊聊天，打几场野架，生活似乎没有什么值得烦恼。 (展开)

牛仔戏份很少，搭配快速的剪辑减少了替身的压力，倒也塑造出一种紧张的气氛。 麦奎因说是小邦纳，其实叫邦纳二世还贴切些，影片兼有对牛仔的热情和与父亲的和解，当然最令人印象深刻的就是昨天打架，今天一杯酒泯恩仇的牛仔快意，时代的单纯，真的令人羡慕。
