Wooly Boys

A madcap caper with an all-star cast, this boisterous and surprisingly touching independent comedy features Peter Fonda (EASY RIDER, ULEE'S GOLD) and Kris Kristofferson (THE JACKET, BLADE: TRINITY) as a pair of hard-nosed sheep farmers from the North Dakota Badlands. When Stoney (Fonda) falls ill, he is lured back to Minneapolis for treatment by his estranged daughter Kate (Robin Dearden), who encourages him to reestablish a relationship with his grandson Charles (Joe Mazzello, RADIO FLYER, JURASSIC PARK). When Shuck (Kristofferson) realizes his partner is in the hospital, he makes for the city in order to help him break out; their daring escape entangles Charles, who ends up coming along for the ride against his will. Charles is a wisecracking city kid obsessed with computers, and is entirely ill at ease with his grandfather's lifestyle, a situation that is further aggravated by the fact that the trio is now wanted for a host of criminal activities. With Sheriff Hank Dawson (Keith Carradine, HAIR HIGH) in close pursuit, the outlaws make for the ranch, and Charles discovers his roots as well as his lost childhood along the way.
