The Biggest Dreams Take The Most Courage

Flicka is a contemporary adaptation of Mary O’Hara’s beloved novel, My Friend Flicka, which, unlike its predecessors, features a female lead. This new version tells the story through the eyes of headstrong Katy McLaughlin (Alison Lohman). Katie is enrolled in a private school on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming, but her heart is with her sprawling family ranch in the state’s remote mountain region. Katy returns home to the ranch and soon become enamoured of a wild mustang filly she finds in the mountain woods. She names the long-legged ebony horse Flicka or “beautiful young girl” in Swedish.

But Katy’s rancher father, the equally wilful Rob (Tim McGraw) sees nothing but trouble coming from the untamed animal and discourages his daughter from keeping her. Nonetheless, conflicted by a need to harness her own wild ways, yet stay true to a free spirit within, Katy sets out to break through to Flicka and transform her into a riding horse.
