- Starring Joel McCrea as an ex-rodeo start turned sheep farmer, Mustang Country is an exciting family adventure set in the wilderness. With the help of an orphaned Native American teen (Nika Mina), a mare called Rosie, and a scene-stealing dog named Luke, Dan (McCrea) tracks down a magnificent black stallion along the Canadian border circa 1925. Filmed on location in Banff National Park near Alberta, Canada, and co-starring Patrick Wayne (son of John) and Robert Fuller, this appealing film was the final movie starring Western favorite Joel McCrea" (back of DVD)
