The classic story of an aimless teenager, a demanding father, and aspirited horse -- now a major motion picture from Twentieth Century FoxA daydreamer and a time waster, young Ken McLaughlin spends his days on his family's Wyoming ranch with his head in the clouds, surrounded by endless blue skies, wide-open spaces, and beautiful horses.
