Synopsis:
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.

Forgettable fun! - Urban Cowboy review by TE

Spoiler Alert
22/05/2021

Something of a 1980 time capsule, with Travolta badly mis-cast as a Texan trailer trash mechanical bull rider. Fortunately, the film is carried by an excellent pantomime villain performance by Scott Glenn, and by a lithe, sexy turn from Debra Winger.

It's a film with its own rude energy, full of denim, Stetson hats and a lot of great dancing (though not by Travolta). A high point is the Dolly Parton look-alike contest, closely followed by the well chosen cheesey country soundtrack.

Compared to Robert Altman's superb 'Nashville', this film is really trivial and one-dimensional, but it gets by as an enjoyable piece of hokum.
