SYNOPSIS
Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her husband Lee (Will Poulter) are beginning a bright new life in California when he returns from the Korean War. But their newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic brother, Julius (Jacob Elordi), a wayward gambler with a secret past. A dangerous love triangle quickly forms. When Julius takes off in search of the young card cheat (Diego Calva) he’s fallen for, Muriel’s longing for something more propels her into a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and exploring a love she never dreamed possible.

REVIEWS
“Elordi and Edgar-Jones give On Swift Horses a solid core, and the expansive plotting develops their characters into people worth caring (and crying) about.”
“On Swift Horses is the kind of big, sweeping romantic drama that Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore.”
“What starts as a simple love story is anything but, and the beautiful, sometimes painful, unraveling is wonderfully eye-catching and emotional.”
