About The Movie

8 Seconds is a 1994 American biographical drama film directed by John G. Avildsen.


Its title refers to the length of time a bull rider is required to stay on for a ride to be scored.


It stars Luke Perry as American rodeo legend Lane Frost and focuses on his life and career as a bull riding champion. It also features Stephen Baldwin as Tuff Hedeman, and Red Mitchell as Cody Lambert. Notably, there is an early appearance by Renée Zellweger.


The film was completed and premiered shortly after what would have been Frost's 30th birthday, in late 1993.
