Urban Cowboy
Available on Paramount+, Prime Video, Hulu, Sling TV
John Travolta is the Urban Cowboy, breakin’ hearts and bustin’ mechanical bulls in one of his most electrifying film roles. By day, Bud Davis (Travolta) toils at a Texas oil refinery; at night, he trades his hard hat for a Stetson and heads to Gilley’s, Houston’s most popular nightclub. There, he meets a pretty two-stepper named Sissy (Debra Winger) who thinks Bud is a “real cowboy.” But Bud’s got to prove it when a dangerous ex-con (Scott Glenn) schemes to rob Gilley’s and steal Sissy’s heart. Travolta and Winger make an unforgettable screen couple in this compelling, Texas-sized look at a country-western way of life. Featuring a hit soundtrack and musical appearances by Mickey Gilley, Johnny Lee, Bonnie Raitt and The Charlie Daniels Band.
