Kenny Rogers stars in the original film The Gambler, plus two feature-length sequels. Inspired by Rogers' hit song, The Gambler was the first movie in what would become the longest-running miniseries in network television history!

The Gambler) and is joined by a star-studded supporting cast that includes Bruce Boxleitner, Linda Evans, Linda Gray, Dean Stockwell, Charles Durning, and George Kennedy. The Gambler (1980): Singer-songwriter Kenny Rogers stars as a card shark with a heart of gold in The Gambler, an Old West tale inspired by one of the most beloved songs of all time.

In the course of his travels, Hawkes crosses paths with the impetuous Billy Montana (Bruce Boxleitner, Tron), and the two become fast friends. Billy considers himself to be a professional gambler, but he's got a lot to learn—and Hawkes has got some very familiar advice for him.
