Shownotes

8 Seconds is a biographical sports drama based on the life of professional bull rider Lane Frost. The movie follows Lane's journey from a young aspiring cowboy to becoming a champion bull rider, his friendships, marriage struggles, and his tragic death in the rodeo arena.

The story explores his relationship with his father, the pressures of the rodeo circuit, and his close friendship with fellow riders Tuff Hedeman and Cody Lambert. Despite his growing success, Lane faces challenges in balancing his career with his personal life, especially with his wife Kellie Frost.

The climax of the movie portrays the fateful 1989 Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo, where Lane successfully rides the infamous bull Takin’ Care of Business for 8 seconds. However, after dismounting, the bull gored him in the ribs, causing fatal internal injuries. The movie ends with an emotional tribute as Tuff Hedeman honors his friend with a tribute ride, finishing a bull ride in Lane’s place.
