Bite the Bullet

A disparate group of individuals enter a horse race through 700 miles of the Wild West to win a large cash prize. The contestants include two ex-Rough Riders, an aging cowboy who refuses to slow down, an inexperienced youth, a Mexican, an Englishman and a woman . Over the course of the trek, the riders begin to shed their biases toward gender, race and age, and appreciate one another.
