Urban Cowboy
1980 - 135 min. - Color
Genre: Drama
Rated PG
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
John Travolta and Debra Winger star in this cowboy version of SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, in which all the action takes place at Gilley's country-western bar, a rough-and-tumble honky-tonk in the heart of Houston. Travolta plays Bud, a young country farmer who moves to the city to find work at an oil refinery and finds love with Sissy (Winger), a cowgirl of easy virtue and spirit. The two country-western singles fall in love on the dance floor of Gilley's and quickly marry only to discover that their workaday life is harder to cope with than they imagined, lightened only by hard-drinking weekends of glory at Gilley's, where they're both local heroes, line-dancin' and struttin' their stuff until dawn. In between crowd-pleasing rides on the club's mechanical bull, Bud and Sissy struggle to keep their new romance alive despite the competitive attentions of a new cowboy in town, a bull-riding ex-convict (Scott Glenn) who has his eye on Sissy. James Bridges's hard-driving drama glimmers with the intensity of the super saloon, capturing the wild and rough life of the modern cowboy. The soundtrack features musical performances from such greats as Bonnie Raitt, Mickey Gilley, Boz Scaggs, Kenny Rogers, and the Charlie Daniels Band.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
"You a real cowboy " John Travolta traded disco for a
mechanical bull in this adaptation by James Bridges and Aaron
Latham of Latham's article on Western nightlife. Texas country
boy Bud (Travolta) moves to Houston to work on an oil rig with
his Uncle Bob (Barry Corbin), and he swiftly becomes
indoctrinated in the nighttime rituals of drinking, dancing, and
showing off cowboy duds at Gilley's, the enormous local
honkytonk. There he meets and marries the sassy Sissy (Debra
Winger), but the honeymoon quickly ends when Sissy starts
spending too much time learning the men-only skill of mechanical
bull-riding from ex-con Wes (Scott Glenn); Bud throws her out and
hooks up with slumming Pam (Madolyn Smith). Under the paternal
tutelage of Uncle Bob, Bud then learns not only how to master the
bull but also what it takes to be a real man rather than just an
ersatz cowboy. With a story, cast, and setting that were
essentially Saturday Night Fever country-style, Urban Cowboy was
poised to be a summer 1980 hit. Although its box office did not
live up to Fever's legacy, Urban Cowboy did spawn a soundtrack
album of country-and-western hits and helped spur a Western
fashion vogue; people from all regions began sporting cowboy
boots, and mechanical bulls started replacing passe disco
floors. The first of Travolta's many comebacks, Urban Cowboy
provided the star with a more "manly" image after his
Moment by Moment (1978) fiasco, but it was neophyte co-star
Winger who got even better notices. With its Western milieu and
retro view of relationships, Urban Cowboy stands as a sign of the
nascent Reagan era, as '70s icon Travolta learned bull-riding
himself and replaced his white polyester with a black Stetson.
--- [Synopsis by Lucia Bozzola]

Urban Cowboy is probably best-remembered for its examination of
late-1970s honky-tonk kitsch --- in particular, the mechanical
bull --- but the film is also an interesting, perceptive
romantic drama. Love, jealousy, lust, and blue-collar ennui are
all fodder for the knowing eye of writer-director James Bridges.
Produced at the height of John Travolta's early popularity,
Cowboy is essentially his star vehicle, but the supporting work
of Debra Winger and Scott Glenn packs much of the film's punch.
In her first mainstream role, Winger is quite a revelation:
smart, brassy, and unconventionally beautiful. For his part,
Glenn turns in a captivatingly rude performance as the cocksure
ex-con who comes between Winger and Travolta.
