Adventure, danger, excitement, and passion run through the plains in COWBOY, an action-packed classic based on the real-life adventures of a young would-be cowboy turned tough cattleman. Glenn Ford stars as Tom Reece, a veteran trail boss who has just arrived in Chicago after months on the plains. When he loses all his money in a high-stakes poker game, he reluctantly accepts a $3,800 loan from hotel desk clerk Frank Harris (Academy Award winner Jack Lemmon) in exchange for a piece of his cattle business. Frank has fallen hopelessly in love with Maria Vidal (Anna Kashfi), the beautiful daughter of a wealthy Mexican rancher. Though her father forbids their love, Frank forces feisty wrangler Tom to take him on the cattle drive to Maria's hometown of Guadalupe. There, the two men find all the excitement they can handle in this all-star tale of fiery emotions and dangerous desires.
