Saturday Late Film: Steel Cowboy

on BBC One London

starring James Brolin, Rip Torn
Clayton Pfanner is "The Steel Cowboy", a tough individualist born out of his time. In the harsh world of the 1970s Clayton and his pal and co-driver, K.W., find the going hard. Their massive truck - complete with leather interior, carpets and television - is their home and their "world". Unfortunately for Clayton a life of free-wheeling adventure doesn't pay the bills and a freight-racketeer, Pincus, persuades them to transport stolen cattle - with disastrous results for all concerned.
