"Take them to Texas, gentlemen!"
In a day and age where reliance on
cellphones, computers, cable and fast food is essential, how many
people actually have the chance to step back in time to experience a
bit of our Western heritage? Charley Sunday's Texas Outfit!, a
lighthearted, present-day yarn for the entire family, offers a
unique glimpse into our Western history.
Charley Sunday, a sensible, sober-minded
Texas grandfather, imparts the American Cowboy legacy to his only
grandchild as he and several of his grizzled cronies concoct a
1,000-mile longhorn cattle drive across 21st Century America . Four
leathery cowboys, one insightful Indian, two strong-willed women, a
two-gun oddball, a dog, and a little boy make an unlikely team as
they trek from Colorado to Texas, continually running up against the
forces of corruption. Finding salvation from the most unlikely
sources, this rip-roarin' tale of faith versus greed will touch your
heart, and take you back to a time where the lines between right and
wrong were defined by bravery and honor. |
