Plot: In "Flicka," a contemporary motion picture adaptation of Mary O'Hara's beloved novel "My Friend Flicka," 16-year-old Katy McLaughlin (Alison Lohman) is enrolled in a private school on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming, but her heart is with her sprawling family ranch in the state's remote mountain region. Katy returns home to the ranch, and soon becomes enamored of a wild mustang filly she finds in the mountain woods. She names the long-legged, ebony horse Flicka, or "beautiful young girl," in Swedish. But Katy's rancher father, the equally-willful Rob (Tim McGraw), sees nothing but trouble coming from the untamed animal and discourages his daughter from keeping her. Despite her father's disapproval, Katy goes on and forms an unbreakable bond with the wild horse. Her relationship with Flicka becomes a catalyst for change for the entire McLaughlin family, which is at a major crossroads.
