Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken is a 1991 film about Sonora Webster Carver, a rider of diving horses and is based on events in her life as told in her memoir A Girl and Five Brave Horses.Ī runaway orphan, young Sonora, persists in a menial job mucking stables in Doc Carver's travelling stunt show.

Her life looks complete now that she and Al are in love, but Sonora is about to be thrust into a very trying chapter of her life. An injury to star rider Marie (Kathleen York) paves her way, and Sonora finds herself on the diving platform. With the help of Al Carver ( Michael Schoeffling), whose father runs the show, Sonora works toward her goal. Thrilled by a performance she sees at a fair, Sonora (Gabrielle Anwar) tries to land a spot as a daredevil who rides horses off of high dives.
