Sony Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for Broke, a western drama starring Dennis Quaid and Wyatt Russell, which delves into the intense world of bronco riding. The film sets a somber tone as it explores the personal and professional challenges faced by Russell’s character, True Brandywine, as he navigates the dangerous sport.
The trailer highlights True’s internal struggles, focusing on his relationships with family, friends, and his passion for rodeo riding. True’s journey is complicated by recurring injuries and the larger question of his future. Quaid stars as George Brandywine, True’s father, whose presence adds a layer of complexity to their father-son dynamic. The cast also includes Auden Thornton, Mary McDonnell, Johnny Berchtold, Tom Skerritt, and others.
Broke marks a significant milestone for both the director and lead actor. Carlyle Eubank, making his directorial debut, has crafted a film that draws attention to the emotional weight of a rodeo rider’s life. Wyatt Russell, in addition to his acting role, takes on his first producer credit for the film.
The movie has drawn comparisons to the popular television series Yellowstone due to its western setting and themes. While some critics feel the film stands on its own, the genre is likely to appeal to fans of Yellowstone, creating potential crossover interest.
