DVD Synopsis

The exciting and dangerous world of professional bull riding provides the backdrop for this drama about the pull between romantic love and a brother's loyalty. Ely Braxton (Marcus Thomas) dreams of being a star on the professional rodeo circuit, and even though he's learned from experience that bull-riding is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening sport, a long hospital stay after an accident in the ring hasn't dulled his enthusiasm. Ely's father was a champion rider, and his older brother Hank (Kiefer Sutherland) is a rodeo clown who looks after Ely as best he can. But family bonds are tested when Ely falls for a woman Hank is in love with (Daryl Hannah), and Ely isn't sure if he can count on his brother's support as he prepares for the most important ride of his life. Ring of Fire also features Pete Postlethwaite, Melinda Dillon, Bo Hopkins, Russell Means, and Molly Ringwald. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Xavier Koller's movie about modern rodeo contestants, Cowboy Up, comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include bonus trailers. This is a fine release from Columbia/TriStar that offers excellent picture quality. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Sandra F. (Sami) from ST PETERSBURG, FL wrote on 5/18/2008...

This was an excellent movie about the many aspects of professional bull riding. I loved this movie about a family involved with bullriding from a bull rider to a bull fighter to the raising of the bulls.
