On Swift Horses

Directed by Daniel Minahan2024USA117 mins

April 8, 2025. Jacob Elordi, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Will Poulter, Diego Calva, and Sasha Calle star in this stunning adaptation of Shannon Pufahl's novel On Swift Horses. Directed by Daniel Minahan (Netflix's Halston) and adapted for the screen by Bryce Kass (Lizzie), the film surrounds a group of gambling lost souls in the American West during the 1950s.

Muriel and her husband Lee are beginning a bright new life in California when he returns from the Korean War. But their newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic brother, Julius, a wayward gambler with a secret past. A dangerous love triangle quickly forms. When Julius takes off in search of the young card cheat he’s fallen for, Muriel’s longing for something more propels her into a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and exploring a love she never dreamed possible.
