Broke

True Brandywine is a bronc rider who refuses to admit his time in the arena has passed. A brutal brain injury shadows his days, and a sudden blizzard tests his ability to push forward. He spends long hours staring at the past, counting the costs of a lifetime spent chasing the next ride, the roar of the crowd, and the dream he believes he might still reclaim. As the storm rages outside, he negotiates with a stubborn pride that keeps him on the wrong side of change. The film follows his conversations with family and rivals, a quiet reckoning that weighs talent against pain and possibility. He learns to listen to what his body finally can tell him at last.

Directed by Carlyle Eubank, the 2025 western drama presents a rugged frontier world anchored by Wyatt Russell and supported by Auden Thornton, Dennis Quaid, Mary McDonnell and Johnny Berchtold. It rests on an original screenplay rather than an adaptation today.
