The Hero


Sam Elliott stars as an aging Western actor facing an uncertain future—and an unexpected chance to make it count.

Once known for his silver-screen cowboy roles, Lee Hayden now spends his days recording voiceovers and reliving past glories. When a cancer diagnosis forces him to confront his future, an unexpected romance and a renewed desire to reconnect with his estranged daughter give him reasons to look beyond the past.

Co-starring Laura Prepon, Nick Offerman, and Krysten Ritter, The Hero is a moving, quietly funny story about love, regret, and the possibility of a new beginning.
