"The Electric Horseman" stars Robert Redford as an over-the-hill rodeo rider who steals a champion racehorse. The horse was being used as a mascot by an oil, banking and food conglomerate. Redford sets it free.
It's an oddball love story about a guy and a girl and a prize racehorse, and it has a chase scene and some smooching and a happy ending. It could have starred Tracy and Hepburn, or Gable and Colbert, but it doesn't need to because this time it stars Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.
While the film was a commercial success, it received mixed reviews upon release. Film review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 64% of critics gave the film a positive review based on 22 reviews with a "Fresh" rating, with an average score of 5.83/10.
