- Synopsis
- A week with Junior Bonner, a rodeo pro on the wrong side of 40, broke, bruised, and headed into Prescott, his home town, for the annual 4th of July Frontier Days. His dad, Ace, is a dissolute dreamer fixed on finding gold in Australia; his mom is resigned to Ace's roving; his brother Curly is tearing up the countryside to make a million in real estate. Junior just wants to stay on a bucking Brahma for eight seconds, hang out with Ace, find a way to spend time with a beautiful woman whose eyes catch his, and earn enough to get to next week's rodeo. As the old West and its code give way to progress, Junior is lonesome, laconic, and on the road - just where he wants to be.

"[Steve] McQueen's reticent personality and hypnotic physical grace are in perfect service, and the air of authenticity is stinging."
-
"[An] untypically gentle Peckinpah film."
-
"A film filled to overflowing with small, subtle beauties."
-
"'Junior Bonner' may be the least Peckinpah-like in content, but it's very much like his other work in spirit."
