Based on the real events, this epic docudrama turns into an exciting, captivating, fascinating, thrilling, exotic adventure in the last decade of the nineteenth century.

This is an incredible movie, showing that you don't need the best clothing, training, or horse, to win a race! You just need the determination, hope, will, and heart to do it. That's the same with any accomplishment you're trying to…

A very well put together movie, based on the true story of Frank T. Hopkins and his amazing Mustang (horse). Hopkins was famous for his long distance racing success, he won over 400 of them, during the early to mid nineteen hundreds.

Is only very, very loosely based on any true event(s), but mostly fictional. Despite & ignoring that, based on it's own merits is a fun film, an interesting adventure, and family film given that no excessive violence/sex/language was used,…

Don't let the "Based on a true story" fool you. This is 99.99% fiction and that's okay. It's fun entertainment. Just don't think it's a biography of a real person and real events or real anything for that matter. Snack on some veggie chips…

Viggo Mortensen totally nailed this role. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, laughing and hardly breathing. I expect to rewatch it several times in the future!

Not one of the best movies I've ever seen because I've seen an awfully lot of good movies in my 71 years. But it is a middling good movie worth watching.

This is one of the best movies that most people have never seen. I have watched it dozens of times and enjoy it everytime. Well written and constructed, the plot takes a new turn just when you think things are going to slow down. It…

Very lovable story! I enjoyed this movie very much. One of the few non cheesy, horribly made horse movies out there. Would definitely watch it again somtime.

I hadn't watched this for many years. I thoroughly enjoyed this re-watch. Not a great reflective movie but definitely a lovely few hours of entertainment.

Excellent movie and acting. Inspiration to save the wild horses and burros of the south west from being shipped to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.
