Mykelti Williamson Stars in Oklahoma-Filmed Rodeo Drama Premiered

News summary

The Last Rodeo, a film co-written by and starring Neal McDonough, tells the story of retired bull rider Joe Wainright who returns to competition to save his grandson's life, highlighting themes of family, redemption, and faith without being a traditional faith-based movie. McDonough, deeply connected to the Professional Bull Riders community and now a minority owner of a PBR team, brings authenticity to the film, which explores the brotherhood and Americana spirit of the sport. Mykelti Williamson co-stars as Charlie Williams and emphasizes that the film focuses on human connection, interracial friendship, and personal journeys rather than preaching any particular ideology. Filmed entirely in Oklahoma, the movie premiered at Edmond's Big Icon Theater and aims to resonate with audiences beyond just rodeo fans by portraying universal values of forgiveness and second chances. The film has generated excitement with a recently released final trailer and exclusive promotional content, reinforcing its appeal as a heartfelt sports drama. Both McDonough and Williamson express pride in being part of this project, which captures the emotional depth and community behind professional bull riding.
