After moving to Pasadena, Texas, country boy Bud Davis starts hanging around a bar called Gilley's, where he falls in love with Sissy, a cowgirl who believes the sexes are equal. They eventually marry, but their relationship is turbulent due to Bud's traditional view of gender roles. Jealousy over his rival, Wes, leads to their separation, but Bud attempts to win Sissy back by triumphing at Gilley's mechanical bull-riding competition.
This movie contains 3 potentially triggering events.
In the third act a woman in the back office is tied up and tape is put across her mouth while a robbery occurs. We only see her for a few moments, and she is shown unbound again after the robbery is discovered.
A man gets pinched by his girlfriend and he reflexively slaps her on the face. Another time after they are married he slaps her during a fight. That same woman is grabbed by the hair and thrown around by a man she's having an affair with, he also slaps her pretty hard toward the end of the film.
