Synopsis

Based on a book by Norman Maclean, and closely based on his own youthful experiences, this made-for-TV drama concerns Mac (Jerry O'Connell), a teenage boy who gets a job working for the National Forest Service in Montana shortly after the end of World War II. With the help of veteran ranger Bill Bell (Sam Elliott), Mac learns a lot about forest management -- and about life. The Ranger, the Cook and a Hole in the Sky also features Ricky Jay and Molly Parker. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

We really enjoyed this movie - no cussing - just like the old timey westerns.

This was a very good movie about a rookie cowboy (Jerry), a seasoned ace cowboy, and a card shark, who masquerades as a cook in the outfit. Sam disciplines Jason, who hates the cook, by making him spend some time on top of a mountain,tending to phone lines and measuring thunder claps. The climax of the movie is the big poker game in the saloon in town. Great card playing, busting of heads, and dashing out with the loot. No bad language or visual display of nudity. The only sexual reference is at the last to "being rolled".
