Urban Cowboy (1980)

Date: 30 Oct 2010 11:36:46

Urban Cowboy is a 1980 American romantic film about the love-hate relationship between cowboy Bud Davis (John Travolta) and cowgirl Sissy (Debra Winger). The movie captured the late 1970s/early 1980s popularity of Country Music with John Travolta's starring after Grease and Saturday Night Fever.

Plot: Bud Davis moves with his uncle Bob (Barry Corbin) from the small town of Spur, Texas to Pasadena, Texas, located near the heavily industrial eastern side of Houston. Bob takes Bud to the local honky tonk, Gilley's (once a real country bar co-owned by singer Mickey Gilley and his record producer Sherwood Cryer) located in Pasadena, Texas. Most of the movie surrounds events that take place at Gilley's. On his first night in town, Bud hooks up with two barflies (one of which is played by actress Jerry Hall, former wife of Mick Jagger). The next day, uncle Bob helps Bud obtain work at a local oil refinery. Bud quickly embraces (or succumbs to) the local nightlife by frequenting Gilley's. Soon after, Bud is approached by Sissy (Debra Winger) who asks if he is a real cowboy; they share Lone Stars and tequila shots. The two dance together (showcasing Travolta's dancing abilities) and fall in love. One night, in a diner, after catching the barflies' eyes, the two fight (foreshadowing the many fights that take place during the movie) and after a short scuffle, wind up wrestling in the muddy driveway at the diner. When they return sopping wet to Bud's truck, he proposes to her. The two are married, the ceremony taking place in Gilley's, and they move into a trailer together. During their honeymoon, they visit the Texas Prison Rodeo in Huntsville, Texas and witness "real" cowboy bull rider Wes Hightower (Scott Glenn) who is actually a convicted felon. Their lives settle into a routine of hard work at the refinery during the day (for Bud, Sissy tows cars) and living it up at Gilley's during the night. (The movie's tagline was "Hard hat days and honky-tonk nights.") After more fights break out at Gilley's, the owner installs a punching bag machine and mechanical bull. Bud takes to the bull immediately to prove his skill at bull riding (despite never having ridden a real bull). While Sissy is impressed, she expresses a desire to ride the bull as well. Bud adamantly opposes this threat to his manhood; "it's not for girls".
