Plot: Luke Perry stars in this biography of the late Lane Frost, a champion bull rider who in 1987 won a rodeo world championship at the tender age of 21. In Eight Seconds (the title refers to the minimum amount of time a rider must stay on a bull in competition), Lane Frost is a young man from Oklahoma who learns to ride, hoping to win the approval of his emotionally distant father. As Lane works his way up the rodeo circuit with his best friend Tuff Hedeman (Stephen Baldwin), he meets Kelly Kyle (Cynthia Geary), a pretty barrel-race rider with whom he falls in love. Lane and Kelly marry, but Lane stubbornly refuses any help from Kelly's wealthy parents, forcing the young couple to live a hand-to-mouth existence, and while Lane's dedication to rodeo and its fans earns him a devoted following, it also keeps him away from Kelly and threatens to sink their relationship. Lane's hard work pays off when he wins the 1987 world championship, but the danger of the sport catches up with him two years later, when he dies as a result of an accident during competition. Country star Vince Gill appears onscreen with his band; keep an eye peeled for a brief appearance by Renee Zellweger, two years before her breakthrough role in Jerry Maguire. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

This movie is incredible! Heart wrenching, especially because it is based on real life events. Too bad they didn't portray his father more accurately!

Love this movie...

I always enjoy a film or book that is based on a true story-- especially when it's well done! HA! I actually saw real footage of Lane and Tuff long before I ever watched the movie. Worth watching!!! Great acting, as well. Perfect flick for both guys and gals.

Wonderful movie for the tender-hearted or the bull riding fans out there. I first watched this movie as a teenager and it is still as good now as it was then. Even my husband enjoyed it! The realities of fame and the hardship that marriage can sometimes be is acurately portrayed in this film. This is not just a western or a movie for "cowboys."
