The Gambler Collection
Brady Hawkes (Kenny Rogers) is a super gambler who suddenly has to save the son he never knew. Brady befriends Billy Montana (Bruce Boxleitner), who considers himself a professional poker player. A strong friendship develops between the two - a friendship that is put to the test during a heady train ride to Yuma, California. Rogers' amazing charisma shines through in his role as Brady Hawkes (aka 'The Gambler'), and Rogers is flanked by a host of stars in the supporting roles, including Bruce Boxleitner, Christine Belford, Lance LeGault and Lee Purcell.

The Gambler Collection contains the following films:
The Gambler (1980)
The Gambler - Part II: The Adventure Continues (1983)
The Coward of the County (1981)
The Gambler (1980)

A TV western of the cozy and entertaining kind, which, quite fittingly, has not found its way to the cinema. Kenny Rogers stars as gambler Brady Hawkes, who receives a letter from his son who desperately needs his help. He immediately sets out, teaming up with Billy Montana (Bruce Boxleitner), a young man who thinks he knows everything about card games. Brady teaches Billy a valuable lesson, but they end up becoming close friends and teaming up.

The Gambler - Part II: The Adventure Continues (1983)

Brady Hawkes, aka 'The Gambler', his son Jeremiah, and Billy Montana are on their way to a gambling event in San Francisco when they encounter the dreaded McCourt gang (led by Mitch Ryan). The gang kidnaps Jeremiah and demands a $1 million ransom. Brady and Billy team up with Kate Muldoon (Linda Evans), the fastest woman in the West, in a race against time to rescue Jeremiah.

Bonus Film: Coward of the County (1981)

Kenny Rogers is in the cast, but Coward of the Country has nothing to do with 'The Gambler' saga. But it's still quite enjoyable.
