The Electric Horseman

Former five-time World Champion Sonny Steele has transitioned into a life of fame as the national ambassador for Ranch breakfast cereal. Clad in a dazzling cowboy outfit, he embarks on a promotional tour, captivating audiences while hiding the struggles behind his image.

As preparations for an AMPCO media event begin, television newscaster Hallie Martin arrives, intrigued by the company's reluctance to allow interviews with Sonny. Her curiosity grows as she senses there's more beneath the surface regarding Sonny's celebrity status.

During rehearsals for an upcoming show's performance, Sonny discovers that Rising Star, the prized racehorse he is supposed to ride, has been deliberately tranquilized. Furious at the unethical treatment of the horse, Sonny confronts AMPCO chairman Hunt Sears but is dismissed.

On the night of the highly-anticipated show, Sonny defies AMPCO by riding Rising Star and making a breathtaking escape down the Las Vegas strip. Amidst an audience's exhilaration, he creates chaos that forces AMPCO executives to scramble for control.

In response to Sonny's dramatic actions, AMPCO holds a press conference to announce that he is being charged with grand larceny. This announcement triggers a media frenzy and puts the corporation's operations at risk, particularly a crucial merger.

Under the Nevada sun, Sonny begins a solitary journey in a camper van with Rising Star, focusing on the horse's recovery from injury. This time away from the spotlight serves as an opportunity for Sonny to heal both physically and emotionally.

Driven to uncover Sonny's whereabouts, Hallie reaches out to his friends, Gus and Leroy. After gathering clues, she successfully tracks Sonny to a campsite, determined to uncover the truth behind the media's portrayal of him.

When Hallie discovers Sonny, their interaction turns confrontational. In a fit of frustration, Sonny slashes her car tires to stop her from following him, showcasing his rebellious nature while Hallie remains undeterred in her pursuit.

Angered by AMPCO's slanderous claims against him, Sonny reaches out to Hallie and proposes an exclusive interview. The interest leads them to a secluded area where Sonny reveals troubling truths about Rising Star's treatment.

Believing Sonny plans to release Rising Star after hearing from his estranged wife, Hallie assembles a crew to film the moment. She manages to send tape to a local station but rushes to warn Sonny of the impending danger.

As police close in, Sonny and Hallie relocate Rising Star to a secluded lake while creating a diversion. Utilizing their skills, they evade capture, demonstrating the bond and camaraderie that has developed between them.

Hallie's broadcast about Sonny's courageous stand captures the nation's attention and admiration. With their supporters rallying, they decide to abandon their camper and continue their flight on foot.

A benevolent farmer hears about Sonny's situation through Hallie's reporting and offers them a ride in his tractor-trailer. This act of kindness reveals the growing support for Sonny and reinforces Hallie’s developing respect for him.

After a long day of travel, Sonny and Hallie take refuge in a remote hunting cabin. Here, Hallie expresses her worries over their safety and her regret for involving media, while Sonny reassures her of their mission's importance.

Sonny finally arrives at Silver Reef, a breathtaking location he chose for Rising Star's freedom. With a bittersweet farewell, Hallie watches as Sonny releases the stallion into its natural habitat, sealing their bond and shared journey.
