Mitch Robbins (Billy Crystal) is slap bang in the middle of a mid-life crisis. His career isn't what he expected. His homelife, while content, isn't what he expected.

On the plus side, he's not alone: best friends Ed (Bruno Kirby) and Phil (Daniel Stern) are also suffering, albeit from very different sides of that equation as Ed's beautiful young wife wants kids and he's not sure he does, while Phil's marriage is a disaster and he's just got a checkout girl pregnant. To put the real world behind them for a while, the trio sign up for two weeks of playing cowboy on a cattle drive, under the watchful, scary eye of gnarled cowhand Curly (Jack Palance).
