One man becomes from determined to becoming obsessed to capturing and taming the mighty wild untamed stallion. The author(Elyne Mitchell) writes a story of a majestic wild stallion of great secret trait with thunder for her horse loving daughter. This is also a strong key point in the film .

Great movie, but can't hear it! Frustrating audio.

The Silver Stallion is a very beautiful movie. The horses in the film are gorgeous, and the music's pretty nice. The setting is very visually appealing as well.The story is fairly simple. We have a mother telling a story of the Silver Brumby/Stallion named Thowra to her daughter, while we see the story unfolding as it is in real life. Russel Crowe plays "The Man", who wants to capture and tame Thowra but is constantly thwarted by the almost supernatural abilities of this wild horse.If I had to grade this movie, it'd give a B. It's not extremely engaging or anything, although the actors do a well enough job spare a few hammy "villainous" scenes from Crowe. The DVD doesn't have any sort of extras either. If you love horses or just would like to watch something very visually captivating, you'll likely enjoy this. I saw this movie when I was very young and after watching it again as an adult I still thought it be to enjoyable.

Everything about this movie is captivating and haunting. The beautiful stallion, the scenery, and the soundtrack. The movie tells the story of Elyne Mitchell and her daughter Indi. Elyne is writing a story called The Silver Brumby. Indi reads the story and falls in love with the silver brumby.Thowra means "wind" in the Aboriginee tongue. It's an appropriate name, as Thowra seems to have a mythical bond with the elements and can summon them to his aid when needed. I was disappointed that he only did this twice in the movie. However, it was cool when he did.The movie's soundtrack is haunting and beautiful, using a distinctly Australian sound and chanting Thowra's name softly in the background. I don't know if they used a flute or a recorder, but there's a beautiful woodwind sound to the theme. Tiddas did a great job singing "Son of the Wind" at the end. I would love to find this soundtrack on CD.edit: OK now the movie is out on DVD. I'm glad it's out and will purchase the DVD. But the format is disappointing to say the least: fullscreen and only Dolby Stereo. Where's the anamorphic and the 5.1 goodness I crave?

No Russell Crowe collection is complete without this charming film aimed towards children. The tale of a brave wild horse fighting humans and his own kind for a place in the world is both familiar and new. The equestrian photography especially is nothing short of breathtaking, and the lush scenery gives a view of Australia most of us never knew existed.Although Russell's part must be considered "featured" as opposed to "lead," he makes the most of it, giving his villain-in-spite-of-himself just the right amount of dogged blindness and sly charm. And the man has never been quite so beautiful as in this film. He seems to glow from within, as if every moment of the shoot were a joy.

Will watch it again. Just saw it for the 3rd time already

Based on a book, this movie was amazingly done. The movie tells the story from the point of view of the mother, writing a novel about a great silver brumby. Her daughter reads the novel as she writes it, but as she gets close to the end, and the legend of the horse is yet complete, you get the present action of the horse. The horse who would rather be dead than captured. Its a sad ending until you realize that perhaps the horse isn't dead.Personally, I loved this movie. The horses were beautiful, the acting was amazing, and a young Russell Crowe? Can you really complain with a young Russell Crowe?

Horses, horses, horses and Russell Crowe!! It's enough to make a-not-so-grownup women swoon. Yes! I admit it. I bought it for Russell. But as a horesewomen, I fell in love with horses all over again. They were magnificent! ...and so was the country. ...and then of course Russell Crowe. His passion shows even in this quiet role... his riding was exhilarating (though a little sloppy with the lower leg)... he exhibits a wonderful rapport with animals... he brings Clarity and depth to his character (even Thirty Odd Foot away)... sorry Russell I couldn't resist. This is a great story, beautifully filmed...the pace is perfect... better than Black Beauty... oh such sacrilege!! but you see this has Russell Crowe.

I am not really happy with this product as you cant view it on a uk dvd player, but plays fine on a laptop,

The Silver Stallion è un bel film, in cui l'interpretazione di Russell Crowe, all'epoca bellissimo, è formidabile. Eccezionali le scene che riprendono i cavalli, che sono i veri protagonisti di questo film

Love this movie. It came in quicker than I thought and was in great condition! Thanks!

Perfecto.

DVD did not arrive and I was told that the seller no longer sells on Amazon.
