The Gambler

Along the way, Brady comes to befriend young hotshot charmer Billy Montana (Bruce Boxleitner), who fancies himself as a top-notch professional poker player. Brady and Billy form a formidable partnership, leading them on several high-stakes adventures culminating in a perilous train ride to Yuma, California in order to track down Brady's son and confront stepfather Rufe Bennett (Clu Gulager) once and for all.
