"Legend demands a reckoning. Family demands a return."
The Last Rodeo is a modern Western soaked in grit, grief, and the raw poetry of the frontier. It’s a story of legacy and redemption—a bull-riding legend forced to confront the past he thought he’d buried out on the plains, only to find that some scars run deeper than leather and dirt.
Once the champion of the circuit, Royce “Bulldog” Mathews (Jeff Bridges) has long since hung up his spurs. Years of injury and heartbreak have left him broke, alone, and haunted by the man he became. But when his estranged grandson, Billy (Tom Holland), shows up with bruises and a dream—not just to ride, but to heal their broken bond—Royce finds himself pulled back toward the arena he thought he’d left behind.
As the circuit’s finale draws near, Royce agrees to ride one last bull—not for fame, but for something more elusive: forgiveness. With Billy at his side, they embark on a journey through dusty small towns, rodeo bars, and the echoing holler of the arena—encountering old rivals, long-lost friends, and the memory of Royce’s late wife, whose spirit still rides with them.
Each ride, each bruise, each dust-filled sunset becomes a reckoning: can Royce finally face the truth of who he was—and who he wants to be—for the grandson who believes in him? The Last Rodeo is cinematic redemption: a small-scale epic about bloodlines, broken vows, and the wild hope of new beginnings, all under a sky wide enough to forgive.
