Storyline
Did you know

- GoofsAt the end of the film when the brumbies are being driven toward a holding corral, the mare Bess and the colt are way out in front. They're domesticated, and they'd know that the ranch meant food and water, so they'd be more eager to return than the others.
- Crazy creditsA herd of wild horses stampede over the hills after the end credits.
- Alternate versionsNBC edited 8 minutes from this film for its 1987 network television premiere.

Featured review
One of my all time favorite movies
This movie is absolutely one of the best movies ever made. It is an excellent story, beautiful music, and lots of horses. The cinematography is excellent. The scenes of the horse chase, in my opinion, hasn't been equaled. The actors, for the most part are good,but no academy performances with the exception of Kirk Douglas, who does an excellent job playing a dual role.However, the story is good, and there is no foul language, nudity, or smuttiness. If you just want to sit down with a bowl of popcorn and spend a good evening watching a good movie, you won't go wrong here. I can watch it every time it's on.
