Horse whisperer Steve Cochran captures a stallion while rounding up wild horses. He wants to keep it for himself but can't afford to buy the horse from his co-horse wranglers. It ends up getting sold to a cruel owner who exploits the horse on the rodeo circuit. Cochran steals the horse and hides out on a ranch to break him. The ranch is run by a friendly old man and his precocious young daughter, ten year old Sherry Jackson. The little girl almost ruins the movie, dumbing it down with ridiculous slang aimed at her peers of the time. Horse meets lion in climactic sequence, but the lion is just a man in a suit or an obvious stuffed dummy. Cut the girl and the lion fight and it's not a bad piece of western nostalgia, in that weird Warnercolor.
