The Resurrection of Broncho Billy is a 1970 live action short Western film directed by James R. Rokos and starring Johnny Crawford.

[3] The Resurrection of Broncho Billy is the story of a young man (Johnny Crawford) who lives in a big city in the present time, but his dreams are of the Old West and its film heroes.

Scenes of his everyday life take on the style of a Western film as he visits with old timer Wild Bill Tucker; he crosses a busy boulevard packed with traffic and we hear the sound of a cattle drive; he's late for work at the hardware store; at an intersection crosswalk he has a Western street showdown with a businessman as the light changes; he enters a saloon but has no I.D.

The artist gives him back the watch he lost in the alley scuffle, she floats up onto his horse and they ride off across the prairie as the Broncho Billy theme song is heard over the scene.

It opened on December 25, 1970, in Westwood Village at the Mann Theatres National for what was intended as a one-week Academy Award qualifying run.
