About

Concrete Cowboy is a 2020 American drama film directed by Ricky Staub from a screenplay by Staub and Dan Walser. Based on the novel Ghetto Cowboy by Greg Neri, it was inspired by the real urban African-American horseriding culture of Philadelphia, specifically, the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club. It stars Idris Elba, Caleb McLaughlin, Jharrel Jerome, Byron Bowers, Lorraine Toussaint, and Clifford "Method Man" Smith. While the film is completely fictional, several real members of the Fletcher Street riding community play supporting characters who give voice to real issues that the community faces.
