City Slickers

City Slickers

1991

For a change of pace, three amigos (Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby) facing midlife crises sign on for a fortnight cattle drive through the Colorado hills. The urbanites' survival depends on a leathery trail boss (Jack Palance, winner of the Best Supporting Actor Oscar) who doesn't cotton to greenhorn city slickers. Though they run into foul weather, pregnant cows and pistol-packin' ranchers, trail's end brings a bittersweet victory.

Yesterday They Were Businessmen. Today They're Cowboys. Tomorrow They'll Be Walking Funny.

Winner of 1 Academy Award
