Set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, the film tells the story of two young men – a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy – who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a life-long connection, one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker, Ang Lee comes an epic American love story, Brokeback Mountain, based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Annie Proulx and adapted for the screen by the team of Pulitzer prize-winning author, Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana.
