8 Seconds

8 Seconds (1994) is a biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by John G. Avildsen and starring Luke Perry as Lane Frost — the 1987 PRCA Bull Riding World Champion who died in the arena at twenty-five.

The film follows Lane from small-town Oklahoma to the top of professional rodeo. His father's silence is louder than most men's praise. His marriage to Kellie Kyle strains under the road schedule and the weight of his ambitions. His best friends Tuff Hedeman (Stephen Baldwin) and Cody Lambert are champions in their own right, and the three of them push each other toward a sport that gives back as hard as it takes. A young Renée Zellweger also appears.

Lane Frost died in July 1989 at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Avildsen — the director of Rocky — treats the story with the same underdog sincerity, and Perry's quiet performance makes it land. Stream 8 Seconds (1994) online on iFILM.
