The Ride poster & wallpaper

Brock Pierce, Chris Owen, Clarence Felder

Smokey Banks used to be a champion bull rider, but now he's just a down-on-his-luck guy who can't stay away from gambling or the bottle. He hits rock bottom when he steals a truck from the Saguaro Boy...( read more  read more... )s Ranch. In order to avoid jail time, Smokey agrees to clean up his act and teach one of the boys, Danny O'Neil, how to ride a bull. Little does Smokey realize just how much the place, and this boy, are going to change his life. Michael Biehn stars.
