What happens

Pure Country is a 1992 American drama musical Western film. It was directed by Christopher Cain and stars country music singer George Strait in his acting debut, with Lesley Ann Warren, Isabel Glasser and Kyle Chandler. The film, while profitable with box office receipts of over $15 million against a $10 million budget, had a critical reception generally for its storyline, although some critics spoke favorably of Strait's acting performance. The movie's corresponding soundtrack, recorded entirely by Strait, was a commercial success as well, certifying six times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and charting three singles for Strait. The movie's success led to its expansion into the titular film series, including two sequels as well as a stage musical of the film which debuted in 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
