Sein größtes Spiel (1980)
Der Pokerspieler Brady Hawkes lernt während der Reise zu einem großen Spiel den jungen Cowboy Billy kennen, dem er noch ein paar Tipps im Umgang mit den Spielkarten vermitteln kann. Beide werden Freunde und werden zu einem schlagkräftigen Team, die dem überheblichen Eisenbahnbesitzer Sobridge eine Lektion erteilen. Erste Hauptrolle des populären Country Sängers Kenny Rogers. Die nostalgische Wiederbelebung alter Western-Mythen sorgte seinerzeit für Rekord-Einschaltquoten in den USA.
