The Last Rodeo is produced by Jon Avnet, Darren Moorman, Kip Konwiser, Stephen Preston, Ruvé McDonough, and Neal McDonough under their banners of Brooklyn Films, Red Sky Studios and The McDonough Company. The film revolves around a retired rodeo cowboy who is forced to enter the arena in order to save his grandson by making enough money for an expensive brain surgery. Here's a list of its cast members:

  • Neal McDonough as Joe Wainright
  • Ruvé McDonough as Rose Wainright
  • Mykelti Williamson as Charlie Williams
  • Christopher McDonald as Jimmy Mack
  • Sarah Jones as Sally Wainright
  • Daylon Swearingen as Billy Hamilton
  • Irene Bedard as Agisa Williams

The film ended up grossing $14.8 million, recovering its $8 million budget. In an interview with Screen Rant, Neal McDonough revealed that the film's idea came from Jon Avnet. He said,

"[It] was all Jon's idea. The whole idea came from thinking what would happen to me if anything ever happened to my wife, Ruve. I started writing, and then we started building."

He added,

"What Jon did to this film by making it his own, by having those old man Rocky moments, by having the relationships between [Joe and Sally] be so fractured... what Jon did the best was pull out all the emotional moments for the characters. That, to me, is the calling card of this film."

Avent found the lack of faith in the protagonist interesting. He stated,

"I thought Neil had made a really brilliant choice, which is that he is character is not a man of faith. He lost his faith. Neil is very religious, so to do this made it much more interesting. To see his journey and why he lost that faith, how he could reacquire it, I thought it was a brilliant conceit."
