The hero

The hero

DVD 2017

A wonderfully nuanced performance by Sam Elliott fuels this moving mix of drama and comedy about Lee Hayden, a once-great western movie star faced with a terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Keeping his illness a secret, Lee spends the time he has left romancing a much younger stand-up comic (Laura Prepon) and trying to repair his relationship with his estranged daughter (Krysten Ritter).
