Pure Country is a 1992 American drama musical western film directed by Christopher Cain and starring George Strait in his acting debut, with Lesley Ann Warren, Isabel Glasser and Kyle Chandler. The film, while profitable with box office receipts of over $15 million against a $10 million budget, fell far short of its expectations. The soundtrack was a critical success and, to date, is Strait's best selling album.
The movie's success led to its expansion into the titular film series, including two sequels as well as a stage musical of the film which debuted in 2017.
