Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) never really knew her
late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), a
fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the
wide-open frontier.
Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her
Aunt Cora (Academy Award® winner Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky
has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses
her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them
both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero.
Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart
when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and
befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) and
Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Emmy winner
Andre Braugher, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine), is the best friend of Lucky’s father.
When a heartless horse wrangler (Emmy nominee Walton Goggins, FX’s Justified) and
his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and
hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a
lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has
helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage
that she never expected.
Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in DreamWorks Animation’s beloved franchise that
began with the 2002 Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron and includes an
Emmy-winning TV series. The screenplay is by Aury Wallington (Netflix and DreamWorks
Animation Television’s Spirit Riding Free) and Kristin Hahn (Dumplin’)
