Cowboy Up, also known as Ring of Fire, is a 2001 drama film directed by Xavier Koller and written by James Redford. It stars Kiefer Sutherland, Marcus Thomas, and Daryl Hannah in the lead roles. The film follows the lives of two brothers – Ely Braxton (played by Marcus Thomas) and Hank Braxton (played by Kiefer Sutherland) – who are professional bull riders.
Ely is the new kid on the block and considered the craziest guy in the world of bull riding. He is a risk-taker and a daredevil, and his antics are a crowd-pleaser. His brother Hank is a rodeo clown who uses his humor and antics to distract the bulls and keep their riders safe. The two brothers have a close bond, but when Ely falls in love with a rodeo sweetheart, Celia Jones (played by Daryl Hannah), their relationship is put to the test.
Hank is jealous of Ely's newfound love and resents him for not taking their profession seriously. He believes that Ely's love for Celia will distract him from his ultimate goal of becoming a world champion bull rider. The tension between the brothers reaches a breaking point when Hank unleashes his anger at Ely during a bull-riding competition, causing a serious injury.
The film explores the challenges and dangers of the rodeo lifestyle and the relationships between the riders. It also sheds light on the importance of brotherhood and the sacrifices that come with pursuing a dream. Cowboy Up received mixed reviews upon its release but is still considered a cult classic among rodeo enthusiasts and fans of Western movies.
