But today's cinematic masterpiece features a fire, pretty landscapes, cowboys dressed in black, a hero cowboy in white, and an oscar worthy performance by Gaynor Hopkins, or as you might recognize her as Bonnie Tyler. Tyler goes to her knees early in the video in a move of brilliant acting because she's "Holding Out for a Hero"...
