DramaIndependentRomantic drama
A 2024 American historical romantic drama film, On Swift Horses was directed by Daniel Minahan. The screenplay was written by Bryce Kass and adapted from Shannon Pufahl's 2019 novel of the same name. Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi, Will Poulter, Diego Calva, and Sasha Calle, the story unfolds across 1950s America and Mexico. It presents two linked narratives of queer romance: one in Las Vegas involving casino employees Julius (Elordi) and Henry (Calva), and another in San Diego where Julius' sister-in-law Muriel (Edgar-Jones) faces a choice between her husband Lee (Poulter) and neighbor Sandra (Calle). The film premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2024, then opened in the United States through Sony Pictures Classics on April 25, 2025. It received a GLAAD Media Award nomination for Outstanding Film – Wide Release, while Calle earned an Imagen Award for Best Supporting Actress.
