Storyline

Wild Hearts tells the story of Willow (Cambrie Schroder), a strong, beautiful, independent minded young girl from Malibu who is determined to find the father she has never known. She finds Jack (Ricky Schroder), her father, a rugged cowboy, far from home in the wild Sierra Nevada Mountains. Jack, who used to run a dude ranch, now breaks and sells wild horses to make ends meet. As Jack and Willow struggle to understand each other's ways, Willow makes a connection with an untamable Mustang, Bravo which she becomes determined to set free. Grizz (Martin Kove), and his son Duke (Luke Schroder), Jack's rivals, seek to claim the beautiful mustang also. Wild Hearts is a movie filled with adventure, beauty and self-discovery.

Goofs

Nobody would deliberately aim at and try to shoot a horse with a girl riding it, as Grizz did. That would become attempted murder as killing the horse could also result in killing the girl if the horse fell on her. Grizz was never prosecuted for the act.

User Reviews

Schroder family affair

Our Wild Hearts has producer director Rick Schroder all of a sudden has a 15 year old daughter he never knew about drop in for a visit. The daughter is played by Rick's real life daughter Cambria Schroder. She's just found out about her dad from her single mom who never discussed him. She's from Malibu and she's used to the beach lifestyle. Now she's heading for the Sierra Nevadas and the rancher father she's just found out about.

Rick's fallen on bad times. He had a dude ranch back in the day, but now he captures and breaks wild mustangs for riding horses. There's a stallion leader that he and rival rancher Martin Kove want.

Someone must have been inspired by the old television series Fury. Young Cambria is the one who tames him, but the stallion is a one woman horse just the way Fury was with Joey.

There are some nice performances here. Rick Schroder even got a couple of his sons in playing sons of Kove. Kove is a real bad dude, you might remember him best for being the sensei of that bad dojo in Karate Kid. He's just as bad here.

Our Wild Hearts is a nice family film from the family Schroder.
